This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With terrorism still prominent on the U.S. national agenda, whether the country's prevention efforts match the threat it faces continues to be central in policy debate. One element of this debate is questioning whether the United States, like some other countries, needs a dedicated domestic intelligence agency. To examine this question, Congress directed that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis perform "an independent study on the feasibility of creating a counter terrorism intelligence agency" (U.S. Congress, 2006). The results of this study are presented in three volumes: This volume contains case studies of other nations' domestic intelligence organizations and activities. An additional volume, published separately, "The Challenge of Domestic Intelligence in a Free Society: A Multidisciplinary Look at the Creation of a U.S. Domestic Counterterrorism Intelligence Agency" (Jackson, 2009), presents a series of papers examining the U.S. context for domestic intelligence, current activities, and varied approaches for assessing options. The overarching policy results of the assessment, including a discussion of the pros and cons of creating a new intelligence organization, are included in a companion volume to this work: "Reorganizing U.S. Domestic Intelligence: Assessing the Options" (Treverton, 2008). This volume should be of interest to homeland security policy makers, state and local governments, law enforcement organizations, civil rights and civil liberties organizations, and private-sector organizations with interests in homeland security. This study is part of a larger body of RAND research related to homeland security, intelligence, and terrorism.

Book Synopsis The Challenge of Domestic Intelligence in a Free Society by : Brian A. Jackson
Download or read book The Challenge of Domestic Intelligence in a Free Society written by Brian A. Jackson and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2009 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether U.S. terrorism-prevention efforts match the threat continues to be central in policy debate. Part of this debate is whether the United States needs a dedicated domestic counterterrorism intelligence agency. To inform future policy decisionmaking, this book examines, from a variety of perspectives, the policy proposal that such an agency be created. These include its possible capabilities, comparing its potential effectiveness with that of current efforts, and its acceptability to the public, as well as various balances and trade-offs involved in creating such an agency. Reflecting the limits in the data available and the significant uncertainty associated with this policy area, if there is a unifying message from the study, it is one of caution and deliberation. In an area in which direct assessment and analysis are limited, there is a need to carefully consider the implications and potential outcomes of such significant policy changes. In doing so, examination from different perspectives and through different approaches -- to ideally capture a sufficient picture of the complexity to see not just the benefits we hope to gain from policy change but the layers of effects and interactions that could either help or hurt the chances of those benefits appearing -- is a critical ingredient of policy deliberation and design.

Book Synopsis Domestic Intelligence by : Richard E. Morgan
Download or read book Domestic Intelligence written by Richard E. Morgan and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1970s revealed a number of infamous and sometimes illegal practices used by federal law enforcement agencies to monitor political dissent in the United States. In the aftermath of Watergate the revelation of serious abuses created distrust of virtually all domestic intelligence operations and led to vigorous efforts at reform. Richard E. Morgan emphasizes the importance of guarding against an overreaction to the disclosures of the mid-1970s. While acknowledging the need for many of the recent reforms that seek to establish accountability, guarantee privacy, and protect dissent, he cautions against limitations on domestic intelligence gathering that could seriously hamper government's ability to prevent crime, particularly terrorism. Domestic Intelligence has several major objectives: to trace the way in which government agencies became involved with domestic intelligence gathering; to review the controversies and abuses associated with these agencies, especially the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA; to discuss the constitutionality of domestic intelligence collection; to review intelligence reforms adopted; and to suggest additional reforms. This volume is concerned with the tension between the need to protect privacy and political dissent and the need for the government to protect the community. Morgan concludes that intelligence operations aimed at anticipating criminal activity are necessary in a complex, highly vulnerable society, and that these operations can be conducted responsibly with proper guidelines and oversight mechanisms.
Book Synopsis Transforming U.S. Intelligence by : Jennifer E. Sims
Download or read book Transforming U.S. Intelligence written by Jennifer E. Sims and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2005-08-24 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intelligence failures exposed by the events of 9/11 and the missing weapons of mass destruction in Iraq have made one thing perfectly clear: change is needed in how the U.S. intelligence community operates. Transforming U.S. Intelligence argues that transforming intelligence requires as much a look to the future as to the past and a focus more on the art and practice of intelligence rather than on its bureaucratic arrangements. In fact, while the recent restructuring, including the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, may solve some problems, it has also created new ones. The authors of this volume agree that transforming policies and practices will be the most effective way to tackle future challenges facing the nation's security. This volume's contributors, who have served in intelligence agencies, the Departments of State or Defense, and the staffs of congressional oversight committees, bring their experience as insiders to bear in thoughtful and thought-provoking essays that address what such an overhaul of the system will require. In the first section, contributors discuss twenty-first-century security challenges and how the intelligence community can successfully defend U.S. national interests. The second section focuses on new technologies and modified policies that can increase the effectiveness of intelligence gathering and analysis. Finally, contributors consider management procedures that ensure the implementation of enhanced capabilities in practice. Transforming U.S. Intelligence supports the mandate of the new director of national intelligence by offering both careful analysis of existing strengths and weaknesses in U.S. intelligence and specific recommendations on how to fix its problems without harming its strengths. These recommendations, based on intimate knowledge of the way U.S. intelligence actually works, include suggestions for the creative mixing of technologies with new missions to bring about the transformation of U.S. intelligence without incurring unnecessary harm or expense. The goal is the creation of an intelligence community that can rapidly respond to developments in international politics, such as the emergence of nimble terrorist networks while reconciling national security requirements with the rights and liberties of American citizens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the realities of living in the United States after the events of September 11th, 2001, and evaluates the challenges in gathering internal intelligence without severely compromising personal liberties. In the United States, there are a staggering number of agents of the CIA, FBI, and state, local, and tribal police, all authorized and empowered to collect intelligence. But is there a way to use these vast resources to gather intelligence in a socially tolerable fashion and still maintain our cherished civil liberties? This book presents a thorough investigation of intelligence collection in the United States that examines the delicate balance of civil liberties with the effectiveness of intelligence collection. It contains a history of domestic intelligence in America, a description of the various threats against our nation, and a discussion of the complexities of deciding what kind of information needs to be collected— and against whom. The conclusion succinctly states the author's opinions on what needs to be done to best address the issue.

Book excerpt: This new book from Richard Posner brings the story up to date.

Posner brings light to the issues at hand and offers solutions.

Book Synopsis Vaults, Mirrors, and Masks by : Jennifer E. Sims
Download or read book Vaults, Mirrors, and Masks written by Jennifer E. Sims and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2008-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision makers matching wits with an adversary want intelligence—good, relevant information to help them win. Intelligence can gain these advantages through directed research and analysis, agile collection, and the timely use of guile and theft. Counterintelligence is the art and practice of defeating these endeavors. Its purpose is the same as that of positive intelligence—to gain advantage—but it does so by exploiting, disrupting, denying, or manipulating the intelligence activities of others. The tools of counterintelligence include security systems, deception, and disguise: vaults, mirrors, and masks. In one indispensable volume, top practitioners and scholars in the field explain the importance of counterintelligence today and explore the causes of—and practical solutions for—U.S. counterintelligence weaknesses. These experts stress the importance of developing a sound strategic vision in order to improve U.S. counterintelligence and emphasize the challenges posed by technological change, confused purposes, political culture, and bureaucratic rigidity. Vaults, Mirrors, and Masks skillfully reveals that robust counterintelligence is vital to ensuring America's security. Published in cooperation with the Center for Peace and Security Studies and the George T. Kalaris Memorial Fund, Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University.

Book Synopsis Domestic Intelligence Reform by : Stephanie B. Linares
Download or read book Domestic Intelligence Reform written by Stephanie B. Linares and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate how the U.S. would benefit from the creation of an entirely new domestic intelligence agency. To examine this view, this thesis will detail the challenges and limitations faced by existing domestic intelligence efforts (namely the FBI) and assess how the creation of a new agency could serve to remedy many of the existing problems. The thesis evaluates the potential pros and cons of an "agency within an agency" solution (such as the National Security Branch within the FBI) versus the creation of an entirely new domestic intelligence organization. Case studies of similar agencies in other countries (including MI5 in the UK, ASIO in Australia and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service) are evaluated as possible models for the establishment of a successful agency and a means to evaluate potential effectiveness. The thesis addresses additional issues such as American public perceptions of domestic intelligence and balancing concerns for civil liberties with security concerns. The research suggests that the establishment of a new domestic intelligence agency would likely prove beneficial to domestic intelligence efforts, but unless issues with interagency cooperation and bureaucracy are addressed, a new agency may fall victim to the same problems plaguing the current system. Because of the nature of this topic, this thesis will utilize open sources, reports and literature that is publicly available.
