Reforming intelligence
The government finally unveilled its bill to reform the Intelligence
services yesterday, immediately disappointing advocates of an overhaul who
promptly complained that it appears to be more of a superficial change than the
deep reform President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner had suggested was needed
earlier this week.
One of the key points in the reform
outlined yesterday stipulates that Intelligence Secretariat (SI, formerly known
as SIDE) agents will simply be transferred to the new Federal Intelligence Agency
(AFI). The bill does make a point of noting, though, that the government will
have to keep close tabs on former members of the intelligence service to make
sure they are not using their position for personal gain.
