A new report says U.S. intelligence agencies haven't learned to share
information, despite lessons of 9/11.

April 4 issue - The Terrorist Threat Integration Center had an imposing
name, and a tough mission to match it. Headquartered in a Virginia
suburb of Washington, D.C., the agency was created two years ago by
President Bush as a critical line of defense against terrorist enemies.
After so much criticism about the failures of the nation's intelligence
agencies to get along, TTIC was to be a showcase of the government's
new dedication to intelligence sharing. The new agency's mission was to
"fuse" the various strands of information collected by the government's
15 intelligence arms, including the FBI, CIA, NSA and Homeland
Security. Instead of competing, officials from each agency would work
together inside the new office.
