#1 A very important distiction needs to be made between the outcomes of intelligence gathering. For example, the CIA gathers intelligence to inform political leaders, then acts at a low level on their commands. An individual agent may receive direct command from the White House. The military, however, gathers intelligence to support pre-existing commands, and to optimize its effectiveness in carrying out those commands. To put this another way, the CIA acts and reacts; the military plans then executes. The distiction here is only subtle until you examine it, then it becomes obvious why the two modes of operation should be separate.
