Bush to order reforms on intelligence gathering
President Bush plans to issue orders as soon as Monday to adopt Sept. 11 commission reforms including a possible national director of intelligence. Disputes linger over whether the post belongs in the White House and how a National Counterterrorism Center would be structured within the executive branch. Democratic nominee Kerry endorses placing the intelligence chief inside the Executive Office of the President to ensure direct accountability. The CIA director currently heads the agency but lacks budgetary authority and control over other agencies.
