#   "Spy Agencies Faulted for War Focus"
#   By Tim Wiener, The New York Times, June 28, 1996
#   
#   American intelligence agencies devote too much time and money to supporting
#   the Military, and FAR too little to understanding the problems of peace, a
#   new and authoritative critique concludes.
#   
#   The report is one of FOUR MAJOR STUDIES to cite the "alarming imbalance"
#   of spending more than $26 billion a year on machines, and less than $3
#   billion on people, and those people spend their time analyzing the
#   information the machines collect.
#   
#   The Foreign Service has been crippled by budget cuts, sapped by the
#   Militarization of intelligence. Diplomats, not spies, should be doing
#   analysis of events in peaceful places.
#   
#   The report, by 19 people from the worlds of espionage, diplomacy, the
#   Military, academia and business, says American intelligence "still has
#   not yet come in from the cold" and is "ill-prepared for the 21st Century."
