Julian Zelizer : U.S. intelligence community has caved to the interests of the White House .

He says climate change, pandemics, nuclear proliferation, climate change not mentioned in annual assessment.

Zelizer says intelligence agencies are part of executive branch, but a measure of independence is part of reason they exist.

S.E. Cupp: New Orleans attack was influenced by ISIS propaganda, but FBI investigation found it was a U.S. citizen.

He says the intelligence community has not addressed the issue of terrorism in New Orleans .

Cupp says the document is silent on many ways in which Trump policies exacerbate threats such as proliferation and terrorism.

Paul R. Pillar : No single sentence in the threat assessment appears to be an outright falsehood.

He says it's a sign of the erosion of the independence of institutions that are supposed to serve the national interest.

Pillar: The damage from the politicization of this threat assessment includes giving the American public a misleading sense of the actual threats to the nation.
