Top US Republican senator Pat Roberts has proposed a radical overhaul of US intelligence which would create a national intelligence tsar and effectively break up the Central Intelligence Agency.
Senator Roberts, who chairs the Senate Intelligence committee, said he was pushing for a National Security Protection Act to build on the findings of the commission on the 11 September attacks.
Democrats have broadly welcomed the plan, although the party's senators said they had not been consulted. The senator is to outline his ideas to White House officials later on Monday.
What do you think of the senator's proposals? Should the CIA be broken up?
