Intelligence Reform Bill Due for a Vote

An agreement has been reached between the House and the Senate regarding the management of battlefield intelligence that will allow a vote on a measure to reform domestic intelligence. The bill if successful would put into law many of the 9/11 Commission Recommendations intended to strengthen intelligence gathering, and provide much needed oversight of that work by a civil liberties board to be placed in the White House. The only question remaining is how will the plan actually be executed should it become law.
