<br/><br/> One of the most significant effects of 9/11 on the U.S.'s national security structures has been the increasing overlap between the capabilities and operations of the CIA and Special Operations Forces (SOF), a phenomenon known as convergence. This article uses evidence from interviews with current and former congressional staffers to explore the question of how well congressional oversight has kept pace with convergence, focusing on the difficulties that it poses for oversight and exploring the cases of military covert and cyber operations which have seen some expansion of oversight, albeit limited and in the latter case, somewhat problematic.
