In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, Congress and the independent 9/11 Commission pointed fingers at both the domestic intelligence service-the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)-and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) for failing to anticipate and to avert the terrorist strikes. Spurred by the 9/11 Commission's findings, in 2005 President Bush announced the appointment of a national intelligence czar, called the director of national intelligence (DNI). This individual is responsible for coordinating and overseeing all the intelligence agencies within the executive branch.
