Spencer Ackerman writes Obama Intel Chief Reveals Intel Budget Is $75 Billion
"‘We really believe the American people deserve to know about their intelligence enterprise,’ said Blair, who is scheduled to speak tonight to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. To that end, he ordered the creation of an unclassified version of his ‘blueprint to run this 200,000-person, $75 billion national enterprise.’"
"In October, [Director of National Intelligence predecessor, Michael] McConnell revealed that the budget for fiscal 2008 on intelligence had been $47.5 billion. That was a nine percent increase from the previous year."
