Travails of Intelligence Assessment: From Failed to Fertile Imagination
Strategic Analysis, 2005
September 11, according to the Commission that investigated that catastrophic event, was a result of a failure of imagination. Iraq’s nonexistent weapons of mass destruction, on the other hand, could be characterised as a case of fertile imagination exhibited by US intelligence and the George W. Bush Administration. Intelligence failure is the facile answer given to describe what went wrong in both cases. This article offers a more nuanced answer that takes into account the political context in which the threat posed by Osama bin Laden was analysed and acted upon. In the case of Iraq, the article details the pre-determined orientation of several senior members of the Bush Administration to effect regime change in Baghdad and how this inexorably traversed down the line within the US intelligence bureaucracy.
Should We Rely on Intelligence Cycle
Intelligence cycle is a systematic process which is usually applied in order to obtain intelligence from raw data. Today the world has been experiencing dazzling changes on many fields as well as technology. With the help of the new emerging technologies the data that have to be handled for intelligence is much more than ever. In addition to new technological contributions, there are discussions about intelligence cycle whether it's being outdated and old fashioned. Intelligence cycle was mainly prepared due Soviet threat. After the collapse of Soviet Union, concept of security has shifted drastically. And consequently, people have started to question its validity. The biggest question is about the intelligence cycle model. Does the process meet today's needs? If not so what should be done in order to attain more effective intelligence? Therefore, this paper deals with the knowledge hierarchy and intelligence cycle with view to state viability of intelligence cycle in today's condition and moreover examines new approaches to intelligence development process.

Intelligence studies suffers from an uncritical perspective focusing on decision support, where this article discuss these issues. It concludes that intelligence of today deals less with formal decisions and more with both formal and informal conversations. This change of focus also moves the subject of intelligence away from decision making towards the field of knowledge creation.
