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.
