It may be an indication of the underlying attitude of some of the news media towards the intelligence community that the significance of a request to Congress in late June by Secretary Rumsfeld for a new post of an Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (making a fourth undersecretary in the department) was treated as routine until early August. Then suddenly, the media characterized the move as a "surprising gambit" by the Defense Department "that will have far-reaching consequences in the nation's intelligence structure." The internal managerial matter is now described as "a bureaucratic coup that accomplishes many Pentagon goals in one fell swoop."
