Mike McConnell, the Director of National Intelligence, has been a busy man. On Feb 7, he gave his Annual Threat Assessment of the Intelligence Community to the House Select Committee of Intelligence. The report's focus is on threats coming from governments and transnational groups around the world including the Middle East and Latin America (I plan to dig into this report with future posts). McConnell has also recently, on the 15th of February, written an Op-Ed for the Washington Post entitled A Key Gap in Fighting Terrorism, which supports Congress renewing the Foreign Intelligence Survellance Act (FISA).
