Bush to Sign Intelligence Bill
We can all sleep easy now.

"WASHINGTON - President Bush is signing into law the largest overhaul of U.S. intelligence gathering in 50 years, hoping to improve the spy network that failed to prevent the Sept. 11 attacks.

The 563-page bill, which endured a tortured path to congressional passage, also aims to tighten borders and aviation security. It creates a federal counterterrorism center and a new intelligence director, but Bush was not expected to fill that post at Friday's bill signing."


Maybe he will keep some of that there intelligence for his own personal use?

6. There IS something counter-intuitive about the words
"Bush" and "intelligence" being used in the same sentence.

4. Typo- should read 'the spy network that ORGANIZED the 9/11 attacks.'
Needs improving though, considering the long trail of evidence they left.
