I don’t think that there’s a single federal agency that wouldn’t be improved greatly by simply razing it to the ground and starting over. The CIA should have been disbanded years ago, and replaced with something else.

It should still be. My biggest disappointment (among many) with the Bush administration is that, while it talked tough on the war, it was never willing to refocus the government on fighting and winning it, instead increasing and consolidating bureaucracies, and continuing the war on US citizens (e.g, drugs). That’s the problem with having a “compassionate conservative” and a big-government Republican in charge. It’s why I pine for a Fred Thompson, who at least talks like a federalist.
