After the September 11 attacks, the 9/11 Commission argued that the
United States needed a powerful leader, a "spymaster," to forge the
scattered intelligence bureaucracies into a singular enterprise to
vanquish America's new enemies: stateless international terrorists.
During the 2004 presidential election, Congress and the president
remade the post-World War II national security infrastructure in
less than five months, creating the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence (DNI) and the National Counterterrorism
Center (NCTC). Blinking Red illuminates the complicated history of
the bureaucratic efforts to reform America's national security
after the intelligence failures of 9/11 and Iraq's missing weapons
of mass destruction, explaining how the National Security Council
(NSC) and Congress shaped the U.S. response to the 9/11 attacks.
Michael Allen asserts that the process of creating the DNI position
and the NCTC is a case study in power politics and institutional
reform. By bringing to light the legislative transactions and
political wrangling during the reform of the intelligence
community, Allen helps us understand why the effectiveness of these
institutional changes is still in question.
