The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11th, 2001, dramatically demonstrated the intelligence threats facing the United States in the new century. In response, Congress approved significantly larger intelligence budgets and, in December 2004, passed the most extensive reorganisation of the intelligence community since the National Security Act of 1947. This book examines the background, oversight and issues that face the U.S. intelligence agency today.
