DHS ‘fusion centers’ portrayed as pools of ineptitude, civil liberties intrusions

Posted on by Freedomwat.ch Staff

“An initiative aimed at improving intelligence sharing has done little to make the country more secure, despite as much as $1.4 billion in federal spending, according to a two-year examination by Senate investigators. The nationwide network of offices known as ‘fusion centers’ was launched after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to address concerns that local, state and federal authorities were not sharing information effectively about potential terrorist threats. But after nine years — and regular praise from Homeland Security officials — the 77 fusion centers have become pools of ineptitude, waste and civil liberties intrusions.”
