Intelligence director nominee faces grilling
Retired Air Force Gen James T Clapper appears before the Senate Intelligence Committee to seek confirmation as the next director of national intelligence. He faces tough questions on coordinating 16 agencies and has already provided some 90 pages of written responses. The post, created in 2004 after 9 11, aims to unify intelligence while critics say the DNI has limited authority and acts as a cajoler in chief. Bond warns of a possible hold if trust proves lacking amid concerns over civilian leadership and defense authority.
