#1 National Intelligence Director John Negroponte reportedly wants to strip the CIA of some of its analytical functions and return it to its core mission of gathering raw and human intelligence.

WTF !!!! "Analysis" is a very key component of the intelligence cycle. How in the phuech can your determine who, what, where, and how much to collect if you can't conduct analysis? Let me guess, the US State Department and beltway politicians will handle the analysis. This is a clear illustration of how out-to-lunch diplodink Ponte is. This is more disturbing than the continuum of Klingon scandals. I cannot believe General Hayden will buy into this.

#2 Analysis should go to the DNI who receives info from and tasks all the other agencies. The questions is can the office of the DNI keep out politics any better than the CIA?
