Quote of the Day: “... an eclipse of collection platforms” - Jim Clapper, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence

Brig. General (ret.) James Clapper, the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence alluded to the multiple types and numbers of unmanned airborne vehicles (UAV’s) being deployed in the skies. "We’re going to create an eclipse with all the collection platforms with all that we’re doing in Afghanistan." Clapper is also the former director of the National Geospatial-intelligence Agency.

He also made these remarks about the anticipated budget crunch for intelligence funding: "How do we get the military intelligence and DNI [Director of National Intelligence] budgets to coincide? Because OMB told us to." Clapper remarked that he is trying to do more to synchronize those two programs.
