CIA FBI say reforms lag as terror threat grows
Washington(AP) CIA Director George Tenet and FBI Director Robert Mueller testified to the 9 11 commission that gaps in intelligence and law enforcement are being filled but restoring full capability will take years. Tenet warned of decades of reform needed with five more years to rebuild clandestine operations and sustained funding. Commission chair Kean said he is frightened by the timeline and urged declassification for comparison with earlier memos to President Clinton and President Bush.

Intelligence failures cited by 9/11 panel urge reform
The commission faulted the intelligence community for failing to identify al Qaida threats before Sept 11. It blamed a lack of cooperation among loosely connected agencies and insufficient powers for CIA Director Tenet. It noted overreliance on walk in sources and a focus on WMD while missing other attack methods.
