and my own work to
The particular item you seek is easily found by searching either website for the article title:
At Phi Beta Iota:
1997 Open Source Intelligence: What Is It? Why Is It Important to the Military?
At Robert David Steele under Publications, Books & Derivatives, Chapters:
Steele, Robert. “Open Source Intelligence: What Is It? Why Is It Important to the Military?,” in Loch K. Johnson and James J. Wirtz (eds.), Strategic Intelligence: Windows into a Secret World, NC: Roxbury, 2004, pp. 112-119.

You should also consider browsing with searches at Phi Beta Iota, for example:
I just checked and all my full text online at Phi Beta Iota is readable in Google Hindi and Google Punjabi — not the best, but enough for those who have not mastered English to form some ideas of their own.
