Indeed, one knowledgeable expert says DNI officials are already concerned that Fingar, Negroponte's top analysis deputy, risks having his influence over terrorism intelligence diminished because the DNI law says the NCTC chief, former Navy Admiral Scott Redd, does not report directly to Fingar...

Surprisingly, Starbucks Entertainment, a subsidiary of the well-known coffee chain, is a major driving force behind the movie. As a consequence, you’ve probably noticed that the movie title is blazoned in every shop, on each cup and coaster, and some cases even accompanied by special edition Scrabble sets.
