Intelligence chief: U.S. safer since 9/11
Negroponte rejects criticism that reform is moving too slowly

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The man overseeing U.S. intelligence operations says the country is safer than it was at the time of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

In his first TV interview since taking the newly established post of director of national intelligence in April, John Negroponte rejected complaints that efforts to reform the U.S. intelligence system have been too slow and hampered by bureaucratic hassles. He also said information-sharing among disparate agencies has improved. (View an organizational chart of the restructured intelligence community)

"I certainly believe America is safer than it was at 9/11. I believe from an intelligence point of view that our intelligence effort is better integrated today than it was previously. I think we are doing a good job at bringing together foreign, domestic and military intelligence," Negroponte told CNN.

The United States is "on the offensive against al Qaeda and its affiliates throughout the world," he said.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In his first one-on-one interview as the nation's first director of national intelligence, John Negroponte told CNN, "I think our country is safer today" because of better integrated intelligence efforts.

He also rejected criticism that his office may be moving too slowly.

"I think the story is quite the contrary," he said, pointing to a new National Clandestine Service, which includes all the nation's spies, and a new National Security Branch at the FBI. (Read about the findings from the former 9/11 commission that disagrees)

Negroponte said the nation's intelligence has been improved since December 8, 2004, when Congress approved an intelligence reform law creating his office, despite "the fact that we've been operating from temporary quarters."

Critics -- including some key members of Congress and former senior intelligence officials -- have complained that Negroponte's team is moving too slowly to implement change in the intelligence community. (Watch how others think Negroponte's doing -- 2:24)...

11. HELP KILL ANY MORE NUNS LATELY JOHN ?

Hired gunmen shot an American nun, 74-year-old Dorothy Stang of Ohio, in the face three times on Saturday. Stang, a member of the Catholic Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, had been helping Brazilian peasants fight (legally) the expropriation of their land by ranching and logging interests.

13. No shit.

I still blink whenever I read the name.

[Bucky]

8. Actually, that's quite an accomplishment...

...considering how the state department is reporting that world terrorism has been consistantly on the rise over the past three years.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

9. Actually, the Feds reaction to Katrina, Rita, and Wilma has convinced....

...me that we're on our own after the next "terrorist" attack.

When Negroponte talks about "intelligence system", he actually means the use of Death Squads like he organized in Central and South America.

12. CNN does indeed know how to trot out these Government

Stamped Iran/Contra convict asswipes for propaganda purposes and to help junior from his free fall into the depth of deep dark despair.

John Negroponte is about as creditable as Hitler. The Death Squad Master has left his mark everywhere his stinking ass as taken him, Negroponte reeks of death.

Fuck you Negroponte
