Still relevant today. So very little has changed in the past twenty years, mostly because the mind-sets are the same.

1992 National Intelligence Council: Open Source Task Force–A Vision for the Future
Director of National Intelligence et al (IC), Historic Contributions, History of Opposition1992 was a good year. Everyone tried to do the right thing, but the forces of passive aggressive opposition were over-whelming. Within the military, only the U.S. Marine Corps took this seriiously, and within the U.S. Intelligence Community (more like an archipelago) only the Defense Intelligence Agency–and within that agency only one man, Paul Wallner, took this seriously. Everywhere we went, “nice to have, not invented here, certainly not interested in redirecting funds” was the refrain. Below is a decent effort by decent people.

APOLOGY. When we changed providers for oss.net we lost some of the links. I have this somewhere. It was hugely substantive and part of my effort to redirect the US intelligence community but I was easily shut down by JCS, Big Army, and CIA, among others.

Consider my new book (2019):
REINVENTING INTELLIGENCE: 30 Years in the Wilderness
I am sending copies to the White House and a few others, but expect no response. In a really weird way, it looks like I am going to have to run for President in order to achieve electoral, governance, and intelligence reform. It's an all or nothing proposition.
Always interested in consulting. I know how to fix it all for the greater good. We do not lack for intelligence, we lack for integrity and imagination.

USMC 1991 National Intelligence Topics FIXED
Ethics, Military, Peace IntelligenceIn 1991 the Marine Corps sought to change the National Intelligence Topics (NIT) away from their heavy emphasis on the Soviet Union, China, and North Korea, and toward the emerging threats in the Third World, including non-state actors. The effort died in staffing. This is the sole surviving documentation from that effort.
