Brendan Miniter has a good article on OpinionJournal.com about the interplay of politics and intelligence.  This puts it all in perspective
 
We like to think of the CIA and FBI as functioning like the military--on the front lines and ready to defend against any manner of barbarian. But given the normal bureaucratic pressures on these agencies, they probably more closely resemble the Department of Motor Vehicles than the U.S. Marine Corps.
 
A good read.
