Military Intelligence Complex - Global Agenda 2012

Speaking at the University of Delaware's Global Agenda series in 2012, Washington Post investigative national security reporter Dana Priest revealed the sprawling geography of the U.S. intelligence community, and described its implications.

Priest expresses her distaste of the government bureaucracy and mindless spending to hire private contractors. These newly founded agencies, created to manage the contractors, continue to make themselves look useful in order to continue funding and pay salaries—even though many of these agencies are incompetent and useless to the intended efforts of fighting terrorism.

Global Agenda is sponsored by UD's Center for Political Communication.
