Leaders of intelligence, IT communities preparing for next administration

摘要

Lt. Gen. Vincent Stewart, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said he wants to advise the next administration that it needs to "be ready for the world as it is, not the way you'd like it to be." "It is a come as you are game, and so while you may be aspirational in what you'd like the world and how we interact as powers, we're at a state now, and you've got to be ready to deal with that state," Stewart said during a Sept. 8 intelligence and national security summit panel in Washington taking place two months before Election Day. In addition, he said it's necessary to understand what is most important for the next administration, because if he knows what the priorities are, he can reorganize his agency to meet those requirements.
