Where does all the money go for Intelligence services

Tim Shorrock in his book Spies for Hire: The Secret World of Intelligence Outsourcing estimates that 70 percent of the U.S. Government's intelligence budget is contracted out, leading to the industrial portion of the "Intelligence-Industrial Complex" doing some $50 billion of business per year.

I am uncomfortable with a large unregulated industry that has the ability to lobby the Congress for more funding.

I am uncomfotable with large numbers of private contractors working in places like Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo who are not subject to military legal processes, to the processes of the country in which they are working, nor to U.S. law.

I am uncomfortable with the high probability that people in the private sector are carrying out intrinsically governmental functions.

I am uncomfortable with the efficiency of the system, with the ability to develop a cadre of career experts in the arcane area of gathering and interpreting intelligence, and with the probability that a large amount of the intelligence on which government decisions are made comes from people with a profit motive behind providing the information services.

It is notable that the Department of State and the Department of the Treasury have such a small portion of the resources, given their importance in security and economic policy making.
