The Intelligence Service that works

is in the State Department:

What INR has, above all, is a culture that rejects easy answers and shoddy work. A State Department official remembers his early years in the bureau, when reports would be sent back to him full of corrections and notations such as, 'Start over' or 'You missed it.' When that kind of intolerance for mediocrity is shared throughout the intelligence community, we'll know that reform has really begun."
