RE: Creation of Confederate Intelligence Bureau (CIB)

COURT ORDER

The Constitutional Court of the Confederate States of America reviewed the information gathered from May of 2000 by key people in the Southern Independence movement and their notes on those who seemed to be doing the greatest damage to the movement by misdirection and by being agents provocateur and by attempting to create internal strife and the intelligence activities which continued within the Federation of States including several internal reports and memos which were written with conclusions during the summer of 2004. The Court decided that, absent a re-staffed government, it was prudent and expedient for the Court to order the establishment of a provisional office of intelligence and therefor entered the following order:

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

That the establishment of an executive level office be created to be called the Confederate Intelligence Bureau (CIB) to conduct intelligence gathering functions similar to the F.B.I. and C.I.A. of the Federal Union. The CIB must be confirmed by the Senate once they have been convened and shall function prior to that as "provisional" under the orders of this Court. During occupation by the Federal Union the CIB will have no actual law enforcement powers and will report to the Constitutional Court until the national Government is re-staffed and a President has been elected by the Senate, whereupon they will then also report to and be under the control of the President. Once the Council of Confederate State Governors is formed, they shall also be privileged to receive Intelligence Reports as well as the Senate, but the CIB shall ultimately be under the control of the President of the Confederate States of America.
