So pretty much they are stepping on the CIA's and NSA's feet, Congress should b**** slap them.

Sort of a short explanation of this; probably one that is not totally accurate.....

This is a combining of agencies that already exist. It will allow military people to work overseas with CIA people.

I think the reason is to cut red tape. On paper it likely shows it will cut costs as well, but since the budget of these agencies is unknown who will really know for sure?

It's all the same, only the names have changed.

The Pentagon wouldn't get into specifics saying only that the so-called "Defense Clandestine Service" wouldn't involve "significant new resource requirements."

In doing so, if one of our people are caught, plausible deniability is thrown out the window. Hidden black ops intel gathering will no longer be as hidden as it once was.

I don't think I like this at all...

It's really a way to get more money for DoD, nothing else will change, it's an agency on paper.

What, exactly, is the complaint with this new agency? It looks like a reorganization to me.

What remains today, post 9-11, of the separation of govt. intelligence agencies brought about by the Church Amendment?
Y'all remember Frank Church, don't ya?

^^^ A few years ago, your question would have drawn a question in return - Why do you hate America? Maybe we should see it as progress that your issue is one that people can take seriously again.

Why do think I "hate America"?
I fail to see such a response being generated by asking that question. Then or now. Connect the dots between being for or against the Church Amendment and hating or not hating Americ for me plse. I'm missing your point I guess. I'm a fairly intelligent guy, but I'm no lawyer.

I messed that up. What I attempted to say is that people were so freaked out after 9/11, it seemed that questions like yours were seen as unpatriotic. On the cable news shows it became a contest to see which of the various talkers was more anti-terror and therefore more patriotic than the others. I think that people are finally starting to settle down and ask questions of the type your post raised, which is good. Ron Paul, for example, makes good sense on this type of issue.
