...compare New Orleans with Iraq. But I would hear the analogy again and again as I talked with people who had spent years fighting and losing the battle against violent crime in New Orleans. The U.S. Attorney talked about the need to win citizens' hearts and minds. An FBI agent compared the city's gangs to a jihadist movement: small, loosely organized and hard to track...
...officers Friday searched the Vienna, Va., residence of Kyle "Dusty" Foggo, the widening investigation into the outgoing number three at the Central Intelligence Agency has veered far from home. The ongoing inquiry, a law enforcement official and other sources tell TIME, has also reached into the CIA offices abroad. FBI agents have visited Germany, where Foggo was stationed in Frankfurt before outgoing CIA Director Porter Goss promoted him to be executive director.

But even friendly blogs aren't easy to satisfy - as Pelosi found out after her Daily Kos encounter. Democratic aides complain that Matt Stoller, a blogger for mydd.com, another popular liberal site, never seems satisfied...
...move was overdue. Negroponte struggled in his first year as spy czar as many of the well-entrenched agencies refused to bend to his will. The DNI's office felt the CIA was slow to lend a hand when the DNI was setting up his office. The FBI complained, as it often does, about being underbudgeted. And Negroponte had yet to prove to skeptics in Congress that he could wrest control of the Pentagon's massive intelligence assets from Rumsfeld and put them in service not just for military commanders but also for the entire intelligence community...
