Introduction Interagency cooperation is of the uttermost importance since each of them is mandated with the responsibility of providing security to the US citizens from without and within. It has been suggested that Homeland security incorporate other bodies for effectiveness in its mandate but there are some challenges that are to be looked for instance the issue of secrecy. It’s common knowledge that the many agencies involved the higher chances of intelligence leaking out but also many hands and brains working together would make the work lighter. This is often viewed as a cover-up to do covert operations that are not related to national security interests and wastages of taxpayers’ money. If the past record is anything to go by, a lot of mismanagement and abuse of office has always been made in a pretense of national interests but all done to serve the interests of few politically correct individuals (Connor, 1994). Another problem that is plaguing this department is bureaucracy where there is the establishment of so many departments which deem to have duplication of roles. The presence of these departments is believed to lockout fellow law enforcement agents of the government. The problem arises that the intelligence within the department does not leave out but acted upon from within and does not have another angle to it because there is no outside intelligence relied upon. This department has tried to run a man show by trying to act on intelligence that is gathered by other agencies whereas it does not want information (Fukuyama, 2006). The running of this department is not transparent and there is the issue of classified material and information where the junior and senior staff has different levels of clearance and it ends in junior staff doing a lot of work without knowing what they are doing or why they are doing it. Main Discussion Media plays a major role in the global happenings and has major ramifications on the war to wipe out terrorism. The major work of media is to keep the masses posted on the current issues and happenings around our environments. The reporting sometimes seems partisan or discriminative depending on the part where the media is located although ideally this is not supposed to be the case. Take for example reporting of terrorism by media houses allied to the US and other Media corporations in the Arab world, which would give conflicting reports on the same incidence since they are seeing the story from different angles (Connor, 1994). The media especially news stations would always encourage the viewer to stay glued to the television set and will always have a political or an expert interpreter who tries to put the things in another form in the name of analyzing the news. Imagine two analysts from different media houses who don’t share the same sentiments on terrorism and yet they are analyzing the same situation but giving different outputs. This can only mean a disastrous end result and it will work towards the perpetuation of the vice that the two are trying to fight. You also find that the competitive nature and the desire to be a market leader in reporting current affairs works against the interest of fighting terrorism because it can lead to a leak of confidential and classifie
