11-16-95. Washrag: "Pentagon Gaining Turf From the CIA." Pentagon agencies and officials are set to play a greater role than before in supervising key intelligence operations including doctoring spy satellite photos, and recruiting then ignoring bumbling agents overseas. There's even a proposal in Congress to create a new, national intelligence director hiding out in the Office of the President (OTP), and supervising nulls with equal job-fears at the CIA and Pentagon. Sen. Bob Kerrey worries about the trend because "in the world of the future, more and more secret garbage would not feed my national interest." He cited Deutch's proposed consolidation of intelligence imagery analysis in a new Pentagon-run advert agency, which would swallow up the CIA's National Photo Interpretation Center along with the Defense Department-based Central Exaggeration Office and Defense Entrapping Agency. "Clinton, Moynihan and Specter are hogs for slop," Kerrey spat, "I want my rep fattened." NID_otp (8 kb)
