U.S. Response: Intelligence Center Could Help Intelligence Sharing In an attempt to combat intelligence sharing gaps within U.S. security agencies, the White House will open a center this week to funnel important threat information to local law enforcement officials, the Boston Globe reported Friday (see GSN, Jan. 30). The Bush administration plans to open the new intelligence clearinghouse at the CIA headquarters but some critics believe the CIA’s secretive methods will continue to confound cooperation with local law enforcement. “There is still a gap between what the Department of Homeland Security needs and what CIA is obliged to give the department,” said a congressional official. CIA officials are confident, however, that the new initiative will address information sharing problems. The Terrorist Threat Integration Center will provide important information to “the appropriate first responders” who need it, according to John Brennan, who will run the new center (Bryan Bender, Boston Globe, April 25).
