There were a lot of unknowns about how brutal the techniques were of the CIA. The agency also lied to the White House and congress about how intensive their techniques

Introduction National security and the other intelligence agencies have played a major role in today’s society in regards to protecting our country. In this analytic paper I will discuss and reflect on the personal skills, abilities, and benefits of the five different intelligence community agencies that operate under their own instruction and training, but serves as the same purpose of defending the United States of America. The five different intelligence agencies are the Federal Bureau of Investigation

The work conducted by intelligence agencies such as the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and the United States’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is strategically kept confidential from the general public. These agencies rely on secrecy and opacity in order to attain information relevant to national security in an attempt to minimize threats. Evidently, without this confidentiality the system would not be successful. A consequence of this secrecy is reflected in the general public’s

Director of National Intelligence(DNI) was created to replace the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) in 2004? Which legislation created the DNI? The creation of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) was the result 9/11 and the recommendations of the WMD and the 9/11 Commissions.

believe it's worth noting that across the board the internalized intelligence and lack of transfer of information has led to a lot of pointed fingers from agencies as to whom could have had a better potential of preventing the attacks of 9/11. The police on the ground or in local cities, although there are very few per capita, are very similar to what are known as "boots on the ground" in the sense that they have real time intelligence as well as a pseudo-trained intuition about things that 'just

Looking at past terrorist acts, it has become blatantly obvious that cell phone companies have notoriously been the deciding factor when attempting to gather intelligence from a terrorist phone before and after acts of terrorism on domestic soil

In the world of intelligence, there are numerous lessons that could be learned from over the years and through much trial and error, the United States government has experienced numerous intelligence failures. With these failures, some have resulted in disaster by a chain of events being led to other intelligence failures and successes alike. In this paper, I explain how the Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba was not only an embarrassment to the John F. Kennedy administration, but it is also believed that
