It looks to me like this article has two title paragraphs. Does each paragraph serve a unique purpose, or can we just delete the first one, which (to me at least) seems confusing in light of the second paragraph, and seems to contain little information not already provided in the rest of the article? - Walkiped 17:59, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Go ahead and rewrite it. Some did a poor job of merging a duplicate article into this one.james_anatidae 05:39, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cabinet level?

The article describes this position as being "cabinet-level", but neither the wikipedia entry for United States Cabinet, nor the whitehouse cabinet site list this position.

President Bush elevated this position to Cabinet level within his own administration. For it to be permanant would require an act of Congress.--72.194.82.128 01:50, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] questionable quotation-mark usage

In the sentence below, why is report in quotation marks? Usage of quotes in the sentence denotes an insincere or ironic use of reportItalic text' For example, "The wayward son forgot to "report" to his stern father after a night spent drinking." Clearly, I don't think the author of this passage intends such a meaning. However, that is the meaning that is conveyed by the quotation-marks here.

"In addition, the law required the CIA Director to "report" his agency's activities to the DNI." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.121.37.208 (talk) 11:05, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Recent News

This section makes the article unbalanced and needs to be merged with other sections. First, it's not recent news anymore. Second, Wikipedia is primarily an encyclopedia, not a news publisher. --Eleassar ^{my talk} 16:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
