As Judge Posner's book ably demonstrates, reform of the U.S. Intelligence Community has a long way to go, notwithstanding the recent Intelligence Reform Act passed into law by the Congress. His analyses of 'three cultures' and the problems of domestic intelligence is especially outstanding. -- William E.
