Steele the craft of intelligence 3.4 pdf.1.Page 1 of 21 3.4 2013-01-04 The Craft of Intelligence Robert David SteeleThere is little desire in the developed nations to see the craft of intelligenceevolve in line with the revolutions in information technology and globalization.Indeed, it can safely be said that most leaders with access to intelligenceservices do not value them—they are much more influenced by networks ofinfluence and ideology that demand the status quo. Where intelligence is usedat all it is generally to confirm pre-existing policy positions rather than whatgoverning elites need to know. (Davis 1986, Garland 2012, Pillar 2011,Treverton 1986).Ada Bozeman has written: (There is a need) to recognize that just as the essence of knowledge is not as split up into academic disciplines as it is in our academic universe, so can intelligence not be set apart from statecraft and society, or subdivided into elements.such as analysis and estimates, counterintelligence, clandestine collection, covert action, and so forth. Rather intelligence is a scheme of things entire.
Adventures With the Cassiopaeans Supplement: Letters from Readers about Jay Weidner's LettersNote:most recent letters are at the end:From:c@Date sent: Fri, 3 May 2002 21:52:51 EDTSubject: Re: More from Jay Weidnerhorsehockey, Most could well do nothing public for the balance of his life,but he has enough minions like SS to continue the campaign. In fact thiscould be a perfect ploy, he would always be able to say, ' I havewashed my hands of the matter - you crucify her if that is your intent'.Thereis another aspect that has a serious stink about it. After all we haveobserved, learned and know about Bridges.can anyone seriously imaginehim caveing in to Jay who Bridges supposedly regards as the worlds biggestdunderhead?
Come on - give me a break, give all of us a break.BFrom:'z@Date sent: Sun, 05 May 2002 17:14:43 -0000Subject: (Fwd) Re: (no subject)- Goldenflower@c. Date sent:Sat, 4 May 2002 18:03:48 EDT Subject: Re: (no subject) Laura: I am leaving on a vacation tomorrow morning. Iknow that this is unfortunate timing but I am tired and Ineed a break.Translation:I've worn my little fingers to the bone heroically on your behalf.I want you to know - that up to this point anyway - I have done whatI thought was impossible - I have gotten Bridges and StormBearto remove the sites. They did this with a great degreeof reluctance and are ready to escalate this ugly situationin a second. Doesn't it feel good to have that garbage offthe web?
I want to keep it that way and I know you do also.Actually,having 'that garbage' on the web is reflection of the peoplewho wrote 'that garbage', not the targets of it. Having it onthe web on a current site rather than in an archive allowed people tosee firsthand without much trouble what the entire situation was allabout.Bridges will never do all of your request. However I think that I canget him to do some of it.' HereI come to save the daaaaayyyyyyy!' How about an agreement, written to you and me, that says that he apologizesfor his false statements concerning his background and career,his statements concerning the integrity of Ark, Laura andthe rest of the Perseus Foundationthat he agrees to neversay anything in public about you guys, that he agrees to not pursue any legal matters against you also. If he breaks this agreementthen you can place it up on your site.
As I understand from yoursite you already have an agreement with 'Frank'about the copyrights so lets just leave that out as it is a problem that has already been solved.Ofcourse, let's leave the most important issue out of it.But to keep hammering away at him in public with this will just get himmore crazy. You and I don't need this. Cooler heads must prevailhere and - you have to admit - I have cooled the situationdown on his end. Now I need you to come a little closerin distance from where you are to end this thing. I am askingyou to please help me. I have proven my words with actions - justas you requested - but my time as 'mediator' (why did you putthat in quotes?) is coming toan end.Let'sget this straight now, because it's a very subtle point.
If HE gets crazy,then it's YOUR fault. That's the same reasoning Bridges used to attackyou for being an attempted rape victim. It's like kidnappers saying 'ifyou call the police, you'll be responsible for the hostage's death'.Twisted reasoning, making someone's else's actions entirely your responsibility,alleviating that person of the responsibility of making responsible choicesfor what he does.This is truly the last chance.Threat,threat, threat.If you will agree to the above then we can get this behind us.
