New national intelligence director? This has so much potential for abuse.

[icarus]

Bush retaliates against the CIA for revealing his Iraq BS signs new executive order concentrating enormous amounts of authority to a national intelligence director. This persone will oversee all info from all our intelligence agencies and handle our contact with foreign intelligence agencies.

This looks like way too much power in one person's hands.

What I want to know is who appoints this director, how long do they stay in authority, and who does this director report to? I see an extraordinary potential for abuse.

He really truly is trying to screw over both the US and the world in general before he leaves office, isn't he?

Each time I think he's done, or can't get any worse, he proves me wrong.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Is there any way we can have him frozen for his last hundred or so days in office? Is that too much to ask?
