Heh, heh, heh. 1) "I have not yet begun to fight". Everything up to this point has been training wheels. Watch what happens when I have money to spend. 2) The correllation of forces has not been correct. Three things are happening in 2000 that will make a difference: a) The intelligence reformers are publishing four books (see summary at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A30112-1999Dec23.html b) the CINCs have gotten fed up with DIA and CIA approaches to OSINT and the Senate Armed Services has an Emerging Threats sub-committee that is drolling over the prospects of making intelligence reform its little ball of wax-- and since it is within Armed Services where the money really is, this could be interesting. c) a new President, almost certainly a Republican, will be elected. If Gore or Bradley are elected this will be a negative, their folks don't know or care about intelligence. General note to one and all: I care deeply about intelligence reform, and if any of you have any knowledge or insights that would help me press forward on this matter, I would certainly welcome your emails and calls. Best wishes to all.
