Abstract:

To leap thus across the centuries and the more recent decades is to realize in a glimpse the incredible dynamic involved in the world of intelligence and its supporting communications technologies. Actionable information from around the globe is today the air we breathe, essential to our national security and survival. The Internet era brings an on rush of changes, both revolutionary and subtle, to the work of intelligence-changes in the doctrine and practice of collection, analysis, and dissemination and changes in the mindsets and relationships between intelligence and law enforcement, intelligence and the policymaker, and intelligence and the military commander.
