#1 Good idea. There needs to be a hedge that insures intel doesn't get stymied.

#2 Anyway, aren't the needs for military and civilian intelligence different?

#3 This seems intuitive:

Keep the civilian side from gaining "an unrealistically large span of control" over military intelligence.

So I find this particularly pathetic:
offers the opportunity for upgrading the Pentagonâs top uniformed military intelligence official to four stars, the highest rank held by military officers.

translation - throw stars into the eyes of the individuals who should be protecting military intelligence and watch them dance for the accompanying peanuts. so freaking sad.
