Firing of the CIA Director

The firing of Porter Goss as Director of the CIA reveals a fundamental problem in the American intelligences community, only made worse by adding at the top another intelligence bureaucracy. I believe that the difference agencies should have been left alone to compete, rather than impose on them one intelligence "truth"--a Negroponte so to say. Relevantly, I include this from Stratfor on "The Intelligence Problem" by George Friedman:

Porter Goss has been fired as director of the CIA and is to be replaced by Gen. Michael Hayden -- who is now deputy to Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte and formerly was director of the National Security Agency (NSA). Viewed from beyond the Beltway -- and we are far outside the Beltway -- it appears that the Bush administration is reshuffling the usual intelligence insiders, and to a great extent, that is exactly what is happening. But there is more: White House Chief of Staff Joshua Bolten, having decided such matters as who the new press secretary should be, has turned to what is a very real problem for President George W. Bush: a vicious battle between the White House and the CIA.
