Some folks here are All Spin, All the Time.

Jamie Goerlick didn't invent any 'wall.' The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act defined a separation of investigative focuses nearly 30 years ago.

And I've heard no reason why the CIA and FBI should overlap. Otherwise, why have two agencies (of course, today we have about 30). More agencies tripping over each other is not a good thing.

Problems between the FBI and CIA are 'turf wars.' Problems within the FBI and CIA are just typical bureaucratic cr*p. FISA, in that context, only serves as a scapegoat for the failures of each agency.

And post-9/11, they both needed excuses so people wouldn't focus on how they let hijack conspirators slip through their fingers.
