A top NATO intelligence official is calling for "sweeping changes" in the way intelligence is gathered and used in Afghanistan. US Major General Michael Flynn wants to overhaul the intelligence system there. The Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence in Afghanistan and two others co-authored a report released yesterday that outlines the problems and presents some broad reforms.

To discuss the report, we're joined by William Banks. He's the Director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at Syracuse University.
