The independent commission studying the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is considering recommending changes in U.S. intelligence that would go well beyond actions of the Bush administration, including creation of a domestic spy agency modeled after Britain’s MI5.
James Steinberg, the deputy national security adviser in the Clinton administration, said he advocates the creation of two new entities: an independent director of national intelligence and a domestic security service like the MI5.
Steinberg is expected join James Schlesinger and John Deutch, both former CIA directors, in testifying Tuesday at a public hearing for the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States.
