- Remember all of those whiz-bang close-ups of smart bombs
- zeroing in on Iraqi targets during the gulf war? Satellite data
- helped pinpoint the targets. But the Navy complains that owing
- to shortcomings in communications, the Air Force was able to get
- most of the data -- as well as the glory -- while Navy personnel
- were stuck with a limited role because they could receive only
- a tiny fraction of the vital information. As part of a plan for
- a sweeping reorganization of U.S. intelligence, CIA Director Bob
- Gates now says he will fix the mess so that all services have
- ready access to such intelligence data in the future.
