According to the Washington Post, the maze of intelligence agencies operating within the United States may be expanding.

The Pentagon is simultaneously pushing an intelligence exception to the US Privacy Act. Both initiatives would see an increased ability for the military to gather intelligence about US citizens domestically. See: Pentagon Expanding Its Domestic Surveillance Activity.
