S ince 2001, America’s intelligence agencies have been doubly damned. First they were deemed incompetent for their failures on September 11 and for the infamous 2002 National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction that weren’t, then they were tarnished by the epithets of scandal labeled "Guantánamo," "torture," and "spying on Americans." They thus face the challenge of reshaping themselves and restoring their social contract with the American people–in which the American people understand that they cannot know all the details of what intelligence agencies do in their name but require that those agencies respect the limits of American values–before they can become fully functioning tools for national security.
