In the wake of the 9-11 attacks, the flaws in our intelligence system were greatly scrutinized. Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra says our intelligence is far better and America much safer thanks to the renewed focus on human intelligence and not just a reliance on superior technology. Hoekstra also details the ongoing challenge of protecting our nation from radical threats within our borders. Hoekstra is also the GOP nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan against incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow. He discusses the intensifying fight over big looming cuts to defense and intelligence spending and what national security issues would have his attention if elected.
