The directorship of national intelligence is a two man shop

Deep in a NYTimes article on the huge backlog of untranslated Arab info comes this gem

" At the office of John D. Negroponte, the director of national intelligence, a program manager who runs the information sharing environment office - responsible for linking federal, state and local offices to combat terrorism - told the committee that he had only one full-time employee and two contractors, some seven months after the directorate was created.

Remember that Negropontes is now the Whitehouse's sole intelligence briefer now that Porter Goss and the CIA are no longer briefing the president except by invitation. You might think that maybe Negroponte's listening to policy, not bringing information.
