bush's time in office. well there basically two cia's ok
one is the cia the president truman set up one nine hundred forty seven i think
give him analysis give him judgments on what's going on in the world without fear
or favor without bias telling him like it is ok then there's another
cia that's the operational arm which is really been sort of loosened from from many
restrictions starting with president george w.
bush and he's taking advantage of the one clause in that national security act one
nine hundred forty seven that said the director of central intelligence now is the
director of national intelligence shall perform such other functions and duties as
the president show from time to time direct that gives the president and i do not
exaggerate here and use that word advisedly it gives the president the ability to
have his own personal gestapo. do not play and before the word the only restraint
is on the so-called oversight committees of the congress used to do oversight now
