Strick BS: On Renewing the 'Patriot' Act (28) RE: BS: On Renewing the 'Patriot' Act 20 Apr 04


"There are other ways that the FBI, CIA, and other initials can share information without the "Patriot" Act. For one thing, they can end their traditional Turf War and start sharing information, not only with each other but with local police agencies as well."

As I understand it, only part of the problem was the turf war issue. A good part of the lack of sharing resulted from attempts to prevent the kind of domestic spying we had during the Nixon years. On the other hand, there's the theory that turf wars are inevitable when prestige, budgets or egos are involved. Unless the FBI and CIA are replaced by robots, you're going to be dealing with ordinary human failings, right?
