the real NID

[Anthro Girl]

I still would like to know what exaclt the NID stands for in the SG verse, is it the same as real-life NID?

I don't believe it's ever officially been established on the show. Fan favorites include "national intelligence division".

[Rhydderch Hael]

president bush suggested creating of new government position couple days ago. it's called national intelligence director(NID).that's just creepy

National Intelligence Director? As opposed to, say, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency? What madness is in this redundancy?

[Erik Pasternak]

I was always under the impression that the NID stood for the National Intelligence Directorate (unofficially, as the show doesn't tell us).

[MadJaffa]

So the Stargate verse is coming true...

Hrmm

Maybe Bush is the president we never saw?

Maybe the entire Stargate universe is coming true, but about five years after the show says it does?

Well, the gate has to have been opened, as there is a Prometheous program. Perhaps this NID is simply the reformed form of the NID in Stargate, and the first one was hiddin from public view?

Based on the information we have, we are either in mid-season 7 and Kerry is Hayes, or it's mid season 3.

Woa, Edwards is Kinsy!!! Arrest that man!!!

BTW, I was not serious.

[Erik Pasternak]

I always (in my own twisted head) likes to think that Hayes was Bush, and that how Hayes reacted is merely based off of Bush's reaction, and we're actually just getting everything a few years later than it actually happened.

[Hellcat]

Ah, the real NID is:

1) quite old already
2) brittish

Do a Google on:
nid "naval intelligence division"

But they are not civilian.... so it's not ours

[earck]

Then everyone in our governement must be mad, because this is going to pass unanimouslty, at least near unanimously.

[aschen]

Of course they're mad! They're in the government, aren't they? Why else do you think we funnel money to into Israel? Our government's officials belong in psych wards!

[Dogma00]

Very, very black ops. Does that mean the (NID) will be yet another arm of the US goverment that not support to have a miltary arm... Hmm... Me think more commandos on the way with the words NID written on their pay checks..

Just my rant......
