U.S. policymakers mull creation of domestic intelligence agency

On Monday, at the request of Congress, the RAND Corporation outlined the pros and cons of establishing a domestic intelligence agency. It also discussed different ways to organize a new entity, either as part of an existing department or as a new agency.

The RAND report focuses on two options to the current system.

In one, a new agency would be created using intelligence agencies from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and intelligence community. A second option is to create an "agency within an agency" in the FBI or DHS.

Which option gives Obama more ability to spy on dissident Americans?

#2 his own creation with all the expertise, ethics, and technology that allows Saddam Hussein to contibute via credit card to his campaign, but will probably know how much time you spend in that white racist church that opposes abortion.... Go figure

#3 Yeah, I imagine that idea will get a lot more traction under Obama. Ayers will probably head the department. It will be staffed by members graduating from the Obama Youth.

Be afraid.
