I used to read, mainly around the Vietnam era in memoirs, that SOF was always very leery of CIA and the case officers due to shoddy or untimely intelligence, compartmentalization, etc. I've also read several books by former DO officers who talk about even inside CIA how, the right hand never knew what the left hand was doing.

I wonder, was this really the case then and if so, how is the interaction now with CIA, NSA, FBI, etc, especially since September 11th? Do you guys feel you're getting proper and timely intelligence in Iraq and Afghanistan to be able to act on it?
