DIA is the DoD Intel proponent. The other intel agencies have wanted to take them over for years.

LTG Boykin as a DUSD for Intel looked like a good sign to me.

For a long time, FBI did CONUS, CIA and DIA did OCONUS. Not a lot of crosstalk between FBI and the others, IMHO. DIA and the other national agencies did talk.

Centralized control and common databases share info, but they also broaden the threat for opportunity for compromise of classified data.

Rabinder Singh, Aldrich Ames or were you making a joke? FBI gets a baad hit because they air dirty laundry in public. CIA isn't any more free of moles than the FBI. I don't know about the DIA. I do have a nice coffee mug from there.

1. She wasn't a terrorist, she was a spy.
2. Even blind squirrels find acorns every now and then.
3. Even a broke clock is right twice a day.
4. She's a gurl. Still probably took a thousand of them and 10 years to do it.
