The future of OSINT is M4IS2.

The future of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is Multinational, Multifunctional, Multidisciplinary, Multidomain Information-Sharing & Sense-Making (M4IS2).

The following, subject to the approval of Executive and Congressional leadership, are suggested hueristics (rules of thumb):

Rule 1: All Open Source Information (OSIF) goes directly to the high side (multinational top secret) the instant it is received at any level by any civilian or military element responsive to global OSINT grid.  This includes all of the contextual agency and mission specific information from the civilian elements previously stove-piped or disgarded, not only within the US, but ultimately within all 90+ participating nations.

Rule 2: In return for Rule 1, the US IC agrees that the Department of State (and within DoD, Civil Affairs) is the proponent outside the wire, and the sharing of all OSIF originating outside the US IC is at the discretion of State/Civil Affairs without secret world caveat or constraint.  OSIF collected by US IC elements is NOT included in this warrant.

More Troops to Afghanistan, But What Will They Do?

Where Has the Thrill Gone? The Harder They Fall

Phi Beta Iota: “Too Big to Fail” is industrial era idiocy.  REALITY tells us that the more complex a system gets, the more it DEMANDS self-healing from the bottom-up.  Feedback loops at all levels, each with their integrity intact.  What all of the headlines above have in common is precisely the opposite: degraded feedback loops lacking integrity.

Text messages sent in the hours before and during 9-11 are now becoming available for public examination.

It will take time, but a number of individuals are working through them (remember what the Iranians did with CIA's singular shredded messages) and we anticipate findings within a few months.  We've also suggest a quick tag cloud cross-references to time and location.

Climate Emails Stoke Debate   Scientists' Leaked Correspondence Illustrates Bitter Feud over Global Warming

KEITH JOHNSON, 23 November 2009

In the emails, which date to 1996, researchers in the U.S. and the U.K. repeatedly take issue with climate research at odds with their own findings. In some cases, they discuss ways to rebut what they call “disinformation” using new articles in scientific journals or popular Web sites.

The emails include discussions of apparent efforts to make sure that reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a United Nations group that monitors climate science, include their own views and exclude others. In addition, emails show that climate scientists declined to make their data available to scientists whose views they disagreed with.

The IPCC couldn't be reached for comment Sunday.
