Improve Intelligence Capacity and Protect Civil Liberties
* Improve Information Sharing and Analysis: Improve our intelligence system by creating a senior position to coordinate domestic intelligence gathering, establishing a grant program to support thousands more state and local level intelligence analysts, and increasing our capacity to share intelligence across all levels of government.
* Give Real Authority to the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board: Support efforts to strengthen the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board with subpoena powers and reporting responsibilities. Give the Board a robust mandate designed to protect American civil liberties and demand transparency from the Board to ensure accountability.
* Strengthen Institutions to Fight Terrorism: Establish a Shared Security Partnership Program overseas to invest $5 billion over three years to improve cooperation between U.S. and foreign intelligence and law enforcement agencies.

- d23 13y agoThis is what blows my mind about some of these people. They act as though Obama said he was going to legalize weed, stop all wars, and turn America into an orgyistic utopia. When in fact he basically did what he said he was going to do: be a hawk on foreign policy in a more intelligent way. Rather than getting involved in long, drawn out ground wars he resorts to drones and things like stuxnet.
