Bush Creates Department of Faulty IntelligenceIn response to what he called a "significant increase in the amount of misinformation about our enemies," President George W. Bush today announced that he was establishing a new Cabinet-level agency devoted solely to faulty intelligence. By creating the Department of Faulty Intelligence, Mr. Bush said, "The United States will be able to respond swiftly and preemptively to false threats before they don't develop." The president said that while the CIA and the NSA had both collected faulty intelligence in the past, "there is simply too much misinformation out there for those two agencies to handle." Mr. Bush said that he hoped that the Department of Faulty Intelligence would not only increase the United States' capacity to collect false leads and red herrings, but that it would also help coordinate the sharing of useless information among the United States' various spy agencies. Mr. Bush used the announcement at the White House to introduce his nominee to head up the new department, James Frey, the author of "A Million Little Pieces." Mr.
In his brief remarks to the press, Mr. Frey said that he was uniquely qualified to head the Department of Faulty Intelligence because of his "deep roots" in the faulty intelligence community. "I will be bringing over four decades of experience to this job," said Mr. Frey, 37. Elsewhere, hours after Congress demanded an investigation into the firing of U.S. attorneys, President Bush said he would move the White House to Dubai.
