Making Intelligence Smarter was a 1996 report by a a very spooky Council on Foreign Relations task force[1].
The report, made at a time when there were no obvious enemies warranting a budgets, concluded that "a large budgetary peace dividend in the intelligence area is unlikely.[2]
The "blue ribbon" task force recommended that "policymakers consider overturning a twenty-year old executive order that bans CIA members from posing as journalists and members of the clergy in covert operations overseas.[3]
FBI and Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agents operating abroad should not be allowed to act independently of the ambassador or the CIA.
The task force wanted to secure that "their" people stayed in control - "Limits on how long any member of congress can serve on an intelligence committee should be removed".
Own words
The report offers judgments and makes recommendations on some of the most important questions affecting the future of U.S. national security: priorities for intelligence collection, the role of economic intelligence, improving analysis and increasing its impact, the future of clandestine activities, reorganizing the intelligence community, intelligence ties with both the military and law enforcement, and congressional and public oversight.[4]
