I think it's instructive to look at the history of intelligence. The British Security Service and the British Security Intelligence Service are still widely known as MI-5 and MI-6 because of their origins in military intelligence. With new, difficult-to-understand technologies and the resulting activities, it's often very helpful to do them within a military context first, because everything is much cleaner. It's better delineated. You have better command and control than trying to develop it in the civilian circumstance. It might move out into the civilian situation, but what I see in most western governments is a lot of thrashing around trying to decide where this piece of the puzzle should live. At the moment, it seems to me to be an easy solution, or at least a straightforward solution.
