#1 Within the intelligence community, there is particular frustration at the DNI over the slow progress in introducing new computer technologies that would give analysts with appropriate security clearance the chance to filter databases across multiple agencies.

The technology and tools are ALREADY available. It is NOT a 'systems' problem, it is a turf problem. There, I said it.

#2 Let's make a new database of all the people who aren't in the right database.

#3 It is NOT a 'systems' problem, it is a turf problem. There, I said it.

Partly that. And partly a structural problem.

#5 Turf problem? Political in-fighting in our government? Structural problem? Incompetence? Fragmented efforts between intelligence organizations. Wrong model (law and order model) for addressing the problems? Maybe all of the above.

The liberals killed it. "Sure it means more Americans are going to die, but at least we p*ssed off Rumsfeld and Bush!"

#7 Not just the liberals. A lot of bureaucrats - in and out of uniform - still think of information as power supporting their own turf.

#8 Itis NOT a 'systems' problem, it is a turf problem.
Any problem involving data is inherently a political problem involving turf.

We Americans continue to think that technology, in whatever form, can substitute for clear thinking, superior strategy, and humint. Can't and never could.
