I wonder if that's what the founders had in mind when they formed our government. FWIW, the founders didn't intend for presidents to have nearly as much power as they have today. Perhaps you can research intelligence operations during the Revolutionary War to glean some of their thoughts on how intelligence and the intelligence community should be set up. Of course, I don't know if our founding fathers were burdened with the task of maybe or maybe not covering up the existence of UFO's. :)
