| Summary |
Amy Zegart examines the weaknesses of US intelligence oversight and why those deficiencies have persisted, despite the unprecedented importance of intelligence in today's environment. She argues that many of the biggest oversight problems lie with Congress--the institution, not the parties or personalities--showing how Congress has collectively and persistently tied its own hands in overseeing intelligence. |
