OK, my web shot didn't come out too clear put you can see the original here - at least as of this posting: http://edition.cnn.com/2005/ALLPOLIT....intelligence/

This is the part I really like. The final sentence is priceless, whoever the author was - be it Bush or CNN:

Intelligence agencies need to improve in one particular area, he said.

"Human intelligence, the ability to get inside somebody's mind, the ability to read somebody's mail, the ability to listen to somebody's phone call -- that somebody being the enemy," Bush said in an interview with CNN senior White House correspondent John King.

Lack of human intelligence has been blamed for the belief that stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction existed in Iraq before the war.

This is nice, too:

Bush noted that a group has been formed to determine what needs to be improved.

"Out of that commission -- coupled with the new national director of intelligence, hopefully, this president and future presidents will get the best possible intelligence," he said.

A president with intelligence! Nah, too far-fetched!
