“Intelligence and National Security”

The Intelligence War on Terrorism
Common criticisms of intelligence agencies (e.g., CIA) misunderstand counterterrorism
intelligence’s realities for gaining information on terrorist groups.
➔ Need to recognise differences when evaluating counterterrorism.
➔ Calls for being cautious with intelligence reform (i.e., changing US detention policy, making
the public more aware of the inevitable gaps).

Intelligence’s neglect is attributed to its shadowy nature.
➔ Counterterrorism intelligence is distinct from traditional intelligence & much of the work
does NOT emphasise these crucial distinctions (e.g., criticisms of the US intelligence
community for failing to reform after 9/11).
◆ CIA criticisms:
● Unable to infiltrate Al Qaeda’s inner circle.
● Relies too heavily on technical means to gather information
◆ Lacks attention regarding the importance of signals intelligence, liaison
relationships, document exploitation & interrogation.

What is Counterterrorism Intelligence?
Intelligence cycle:
1. Planning intelligence gathering.
2. Collecting intelligence.
➔ Counterrosim varies, including supplementary steps.
3. Processing the intelligence into a report.
4. Analysing the information.
5. Disseminating the information.

Terrorists as an Intelligence Challenge
Counterterrorism intelligence analysis requires knowing the adversary.
➔ Intelligence’s targets are proven terrorists & anyone who might commit terrorism in the
future = difficult to identify.
◆ Already even more difficult regarding Al Qaeda:
1. Has a global presence.
2. Is aware of the contours of the US intelligence effort & adjusts accordingly.
3. Its structures involve networks/hierarchies, making senior-level penetration
difficult.

Collection, Analysis & Counterterrorism
Variety of methods used in intelligence collection (i.e. ‘INTs’):
● Human spies (HUMINT).
➔ Traditional focus on slowly developing sources whose value pays off over time.
➔ With terrorism:
◆ Information’s value is short-lived.

◆ Information comes from interrogation (with/without torture).
➔ ‘DocEx’: Document exploitation.
➔ Foreign Liaison Relationships: Unrealistic for a country to have strong unilateral
capabilities in every country where a terrorist group is present. HOWEVER, foreign
governments can fill this gap acting as a force multiplier.
◆ Local governments can be part of the:
● Problem = are often corrupt & undemocratic, creating grievances
that terrorists work to exploit.
● Solution = these grievances create terrorist hotbeds, with allies
having impressive capabilities available (e.g., local languages,
cultural awareness, jails). These states can simply arrest
questionable people, as being a member of a terrorist group or
otherwise supporting violence is almost uniformly illegal.
● Intercepting phone calls, emails, tracking financing & other signals (SIGINT).
➔ Despite being particularly important in counterterrorism, signals intelligence is often
neglected.
➔ Deciding whom to monitor/locate can be exceptionally difficult, HOWEVER, SIGINT
can be valuable when monitoring careless terrorist communications.
● Imagery on terrorist activities (IMINT).

Counterterrorism Analysis
Involves puzzling together name fragments, phone numbers & other small pieces = very difficult.

Different Relationships among Analysts, Collectors & Policymakers
Divide between intelligence & policy in counterterrorism, as the intelligence community is a
producer & consumer of intelligence.
➔ Analysts drive the collection of information.
➔ The consumer of the information is often the intelligence community itself.

Dilemmas & Problems
Counterterrorism poses many challenges:
● Intelligence policy = exacerbated tension in terrorism by working with operatives involved in
violence (ethical & legal challenge).
● Coordination = counterterrorism involves multiple intelligence services.
● Interrogation & lack of an institutionalised detention program = shift away from this
essential practice, with NO suitable alternative.
● Issues overseas = difficulties, corruption & repression in hostile areas (e.g., Afghanistan,
Iran) where governments tolerate terrorist activity for their purposes (e.g., Pakistan, Yemen),
or where there is NO functioning government (e.g., Sudan).
➔ For counterterrorism, allies are found in countries with order problems & poor
economies.
➔ Liaison services may be less skilled in some aspects of counterterrorism. Often
foreign intelligence agencies within an autocratic country do NOT communicate (to
prevent a coup by limiting the necessary flow of information).
➔ Cooperation requires different intelligence partners within a foreign country.
