Transforming U.s. Intelligence

Informationen zum Autor Jennifer E. Sims is a visiting professor with the security studies program at Georgetown University. She has served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and in the Department of State as a senior intelligence officer. She has published a number of works on intelligence and arms control! including Icarus Restrained: An Intellectual History of Nuclear Arms Control! 1945-1960. Burton Gerber served for 39 years! most of it overseas! as an operations officer in the Central Intelligence Agency. He frequently lectures on ethics as related to public policy and intelligence. Klappentext "Transforming U.S. Intelligence" presents that argument that transforming intelligence requires as much a look to the future as to the past and a focus more on the art and practice of intelligence than on its bureaucratic arrangements. In fact! while the recent restructuring! including the creation of the Department of Homeland Security! may solve some problems! it has also created new ones. The authors of this volume agree that transforming policies and practices will be the most effective way to tackle future challenges facing the nation's security. Zusammenfassung The intelligence failures exposed by the events of 9/11 has made one thing perfectly clear: change is needed in how the US intelligence community operates. This title argues that transforming intelligence requires as much a look to the future as to the past and a focus more on the art and practice of intelligence.
