PrintPrint

Reading

Read Lowenthal's Chapter 14: "Intelligence Reform" in Intelligence: From Secrets to Policy.

As you read, do some critical thinking and ask yourself:

  • Do the efforts at intelligence reform have significant impact on GEOINT, or are they targeted elsewhere?
  • The issue of stovepiping is very significant. By concentrating all GEOINT functions in the NGA, has the intelligence community deprived other agencies of opportunities to leverage GEOINT for their areas of interest and expertise?
