Military intelligence can more than cover our country’s needs while the FBI must have major reform or be entirely replaced. The other is too corrupt to stand: splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds.
The idea that military intelligence can cover our needs is incorrect. The problem is not the Intelligence agencies themselves per se, it is the complete lack of any meaningful oversight, restriction on power, and consequences when they are found to be in the wrong.
The Military is also not immune to the deep state corruption. Remember it was the US Military that proposed Operation Northwoods. Had this operation been greenlit it would see the US military bomb US CITIZENS and frame the Cuban government so that it could be used as a pretense for invasion.
I 100% agree with the idea of reform of Intelligence agencies. As such what we need is a wholesale removal of the senior level of all 19 intelligence agencies in America and put their replacements on notice. Any and all infractions must be punished to the maximum extent of the law. Intelligence agencies are good. Intelligence agencies that are completely unaccountable unaccountable for their actions with no meaningful oversight or punishment for those who break the law or abuse their power are very bad.
I guess you want terrorists to kill Americans. You are no better than the leftists who look at a system that does not have an optimal outcome 100% of the time and want to burn it all down.
Also, there are no "secret police". The abuses at the FBI were perpetrated by partisan FBI agents. Intelligence agencies are not police they are for the most parts legions of analysts who relay information through the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to those agencies that can act upon it be it domestic through Homeland Security/FBI/Local Law enforcement or the military. The only "secret" part which I have some trouble with in light of the revelations in Obamagate is the FISA court system and even then I see the need for the court itself. It for sure needs to be overhauled.
the key to solving this problem is a complete overhaul of the senior management of the entire intelligence community and put in place a non-partisan board of oversight through the Justice Department that has access to everything and has the power to indict for infractions.

Secret police are always going to be misused.

Terrorists have been killing Americans for decades and our 17 intelligence agencies and secret police have been aiding them.
Nice try though.
This is the correct answer
