The manipulation, driven by Obama’s Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and carried out in the Defense Department by senior Central Command (CENTCOM) officers, aimed to downplay the jihadist threat.

Perfect. And surround the retired Generals with aggressive law enforcement and criminal intelligence pros - ones that hunt and drag the bad guys to the ground on a daily basis...not the smug "intellectual" "intel" folks that only provide vague products unfit for targeting and only used for rationalization.
