  1. What is Intelligence

  2. Info vsintel • Info = anything that can be known. • Intel = info that has been processed for a policy maker. • All intel is info, the reverse isn’t true.

  3. Types of Intel • GEOINT (maps and imagery) • SIGINT (radio, etc) • HUMINT (collected from people and their artifacts) • MASINT (measurement and signatures – ie spectroscopic [gasses, radiation], tectonic [earthquakes and nukes]) • OSINT (open source – ie the web)

  4. Fun intel • LAVINT: lavatory • RUMINT: rumor • DIVINT: divine

  5. Intel Agencies • This class will focus on government intel – and skip, for example, business intel work. • Managed via a plethora of agencies, which we will discuss next week.

  6. Why do all this? • Avoid strategic surprise [ie Pearl Harbor, endangers national existence]. Contrast to tactical surprise [ie 9/11] • Provide long-term expertise to transient policy-makers • Support the policy process

  7. For next week • Read chapter 1 of your book – review of today’s lecture.
