Pentagon Forms New Intelligence Department
It is claimed that the US Secretary of Defense has formed a new intelligence department and is reviewing US law to provide greater authority for the Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld over espionage activities in foreign countries. The Washington Post, a prominent US newspaper, published Pentagon documents and interviews and said that a new intelligence department called the "Strategic Support Branch" had been formed by Rumsfeld to end his "near total dependence on CIA".
