36 Weeks Pregnant Having A Poo

The White Paper and the intelligence

In France, when you do not hear a question, it creates a commission that handles make it disappear. What connection with the information you say?
The White Paper launched yesterday on the track to the stars with great fanfare announced the creation of a post of Coordinator of Intelligence attached directly to the president and told the diplomat Bernard Bajolet, currently ambassador to Algiers. His role will be similar to the Director of Central Intelligence

the American intelligence community. But France is not the United States. Even if the different agencies do not collaborate with each other, starting with the CIA and the FBI, the fact remains that the United States, who copied it to British Joint Intelligence Committee. "For forty years since the Anglo-Saxon countries have a habit of working together, to share information internally between the various agencies that make up a community between ally and externally. It just has to see the latest blunder for MI-6, forgetting on a bench commuter a document stamped "For UK / US / Canadian and Australian eyes only" . France does not belong to these specific exchanges. Firstly because its services in the days of the Cold War, were not considered safe by the Anglo-Saxons. Secondly, because since that time Red Scare
they are considered only as second-class service, just good enough to tinker in Africa ... And yet, since the Americans took feet for twelve years, occupying seats that "Part of Human Rights " left free. In Algeria, but also in sub-Saharan Africa. The gasworks

Basically, the most important in this position as coordinator of intelligence, which takes the place of the CIR, since it relies on the General Secretariat of National Defense (NWMO), is precisely that it is attached directly to President of the Republic. Until now, the heads of the French seeing only twice President of the Republic, at the time of their appointment, then they leave. Most High Authority of the State had no business intelligence. In part, this reflects the position of General de Gaulle in London, he had certainly shown interest in the intelligence function, but it was wartime.
