I was an intelligence analyst for the Department of Defense from January '03, just before we invaded Iraq, until July '05. Now I'm an independent consultant to the Intelligence Community. I do this because it gives me an opportunity to improve a vital organ of our government.
Since "Change" is the buzzword of the year, I want to put forth some new ideas for making it happen.
We need to be more direct in our reform efforts. Citizens need to do a lot more than register, vote, give money, and then blog about it. We need to help our government do its job better and more honorably.
My thoughts are here.
