Why did Bush abolish information sharing and route all national security information to him, via Condoleezza Rice?

By Margie Burns

August 2, 2003—On February 13, 2001, George W. Bush, three weeks in the Oval Office, issued his first official White House document pertaining to national security. The document, called the National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD), partly reorganized the National Security Council that was established by President Truman in 1947 and put into the Executive branch in 1949.

In light of subsequent events, a single sentence is perhaps the most dramatic statement in the NSPD: "The existing system of Interagency Working Groups is abolished."

Thus ended, with one stroke of the pen, the chief existing structural mechanism for coordinating information among federal agencies including the intelligence agencies, transportation, and immigration.

This NSPD was publicly released February 13, 2001, the same date a mini-symposium was held in Laurel, Maryland, on "homeland security," partly sponsored by Analytic Services, Inc. (ANSER), the company for which Hadley had served as a trustee. ANSER had formed a think tank and consulting operation called the "Homeland Security Institute" back in spring of 1999 and was heavily invested in pushing the idea of a "second Pearl Harbor" as a slogan for the military-intelligence establishment, both before and after September 11, 2001.

How could the White House ever have thought that abolishing the inter-agency work groups was a good idea if security was the objective? Why was so much responsibility placed on the shoulders of one person, Condoleezza Rice, whose previous experience had been at Stanford University and Chevron Oil? Why was national security blended with commerce?

Above all, why was virtually total control of national security taken over by a politically-preoccupied White House?
