#1 A meaningless, titular position with no power. The Klingon's are not about relinquishing power or secret budget sharing. The entire notion was a 'cover your arse' cockup from the beginning. End it Monday morning. I assure you, no negative impact to intelligence analytic analysis and production or national security will result.

#2 If you look at the National Security Act of 1947, the CENTRAL Intelligence agency was created to be the place to consolidate the information and analysis of the federal government. That happened for a while, and then the bureaucracy ricebowl creep of ever expanding civil servant mentality infected the Agency, State and the Military branches, and we got the slow growth of 16-17 places, each with turf and career path issues... Ruthless pruning is long overdue if we have any hope of making it better!
