US espionage enters the 'un-Rumsfeld' era

"As the George W Bush administration winds up nearly seven years of intelligence fiascoes, a quiet revolution has been going on at the Pentagon, which controls more than 80% of America's US$60 billion intelligence budget.

Tim Shorrock writes this in a very interesting article in the Asia Times. Check it out.
