ON INTELLIGENCE: Open Letter to the President
Jim Clapper is a good man who refused to employ the one professional that “gets” that intelligence has matured to be about multinational information-sharing and sense-making focused on all ten high level threats to humanity so as to orchestrate spending by all parties across all twelve policies. Global Coverage was defined by Boyd Sutton in 1997 and George Tenet refused to consider it. Open Source Intelligence was defined by the Aspin-Brown Commission in 1996 and every DCI/DNI since then has refused to be serious about it. M4IS2 was defined for CENTCOM, then DIA, then USDI and finally for the DNI and nothing happened. The IC remains a pork barrel overseen by over-paid clerks. The times, they are a-changing.
