Defense Intelligence Agency And Military Intelligence
The Defense Intelligence agency is a United States intelligence agency that provides foreign
military intelligence operating under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense. According to its
website it is "Department of Defense combat support agency that produces analyses and
disseminates military intelligence information." The foreign military intelligence like political
assessments, troop movements, diplomatic changes etc. are distributed among the policy makers,
defense officials, combat commanders and other intelligence agencies. The headquarters of the DIA
is situated at Joint Base Anacostia Building, Washington DC and was formed in 1961. It employs
approximately 7,500 staff worldwide. The Director of the DIA is at least a three star military
general. The DIA was formed with the intention of creating a centralized single point access to all
defense military intelligence information. Before the formation of the DIA the Department of
Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Military Intelligence board would do their own collection,
analysis and distribution of information using both military and civilian intelligence officers
(Defense Intelligence Agency, 2014). They would help in the deciding the defense intelligence
policy. The function of DIA encompasses five main operations:
1. Gather human source information
2. Analyze technical information (crunching of information using computers)

The United States Should Not Be A Complete Failure
The United States have been sending numerous military units to different parts of the world to
sustain survivability of other nations that are American allies. Countries that are part of United
Nations have been combined force that if there is a situation around the world, all the nations
including the United States will meet up and decide what the corrective action to resolve the issue is.
The United States military has been in so many conflicts with other countries that to the point that
many of them becomes our allies. Many agencies ae trying to continue to gather information on
potential terrorist or attacks before they can happen and without the proper relationships between the
federal agencies, this will continue to be a complete failure. Terrorist attacks on the United States
have been going on for decades or since the 1980 's when the United States Embassy was bombed
that killed numerous Americans and civilian casualties. There was also the bombing at Khobar
Towers in Beirut which happened months after the embassy incident. This attack killed numerous
marines and injured many civilians that were present during that fateful day. This was long before
the likes of Al Qaida and ISIS. Both were surprise attacks and there was not any warning giving but
that was just the beginning of numerous attempts into the future years. Interesting fact is that many

The Central Intelligence Agency Defines Terrorism
Professor Williamson
November 13, 2015
Paper 2 – Question 2
The Central Intelligence Agency defines terrorism as "premeditated, politically motivated violence
perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents" (CIA). This
term was specifically created to differentiate terrorism between other acts of violence. These doings
of terrorism are not just any act but are specific acts of violence. A dominant reason behind terrorism
tends to fall upon religious beliefs and culture ties. Terrorism has been an important part of social
behavior for over 2,000 years. Between the years of 1980 and 1995, terroristic groups motivated by
religious beliefs had increased by 43% (Hoffman). Religious beliefs and culture are a main reason
groups and individuals resort to terrorism. Groups resort to terrorism as a consequence of seeing
their culture demolished, as well as religious motives. Terrorist groups have many intentions when it
comes to acts of terrorism. They main ones are they want to create fear globally, weaken the
government, and obtain universal recognition for what they have done. Religiously motivated
terrorist groups usually have high authority targets. These targets include government offices, banks,
and national airlines. From the group's perspective, terrorism is the only practical option. Groups are
formed centered on certain factors like culture and religion. Many terrorists will receive support

The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) is an independent federal agency, it is responsible for
advancing national security intelligence to the United States policymakers. The Intelligence the CIA
acquires is used to provide strategic and tactical advantages to take action in order to prevent threats
and to advance the United States' National security goals. The CIA organizes covert activities and

Founded during World War II President Roosevelt appointed William Donovan the first coordinator
of the CIA. After the War ended, President Truman recognized the need for a Central Intelligence
Agency this led him to Sign the National Security Act of 1947. The most recent change came after
9/11 when President Bush signed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act which
creamed a director over the Central Intelligence and National Intelligence. Both directors are
accountable for Counterterrorism and the Intelligence Community. The director of the CIA is
responsible for the budget, operations and personnel, of the CIA, is chosen by the President and

Surveillance And Data Monitoring By Intelligence Agencies
Constant surveillance is something that we, as Americans, see and face every day of our lives. This
surveillance that we encounter everyday is for our personal protection, but what happens when this
protection is used for the wrong reasons or is abused? That is a concern that almost everyone has,
and that is if they have some sort of privacy in their daily lives. "Surveillance Abuse is the use of
police investigation methods or technology to supervise the activity of an individual or group of
individuals in a way which violates the social norms or laws of a society" (US Legal, Inc.). Citizens
of the U.S. worry whether their privacy is at risk or is being protected by our government. The topic

Its key feature is that people actively participate in an attempt to regulate their own surveillance and
the surveillance of others. There is growing evidence of patterns of perspectives, outlooks, or
mentalities on surveillance. The term "surveillance culture" has appeared before, but it has yet to be
treated as a broad phenomenon in its own right and theorized as a development distinct from others.
The culture of surveillance was becoming visible at the turn of the 21st century, especially after the
9/11 attacks on America and the advent of social media, and became even clearer after Edward
Snowden copied and released documents from the NSA in 2013. It is no longer merely something
external that imposes a threat on our lives. It is something that everyday citizens comply with–
willingly and wittingly, or not–negotiate, resist, engage with, and even initiate and desire. A key
transformation of surveillance after 9/11 involves the emphasis on the future. Rather than focusing
on the detection of past acts, law enforcement and security efforts are now geared toward the
prevention of future terrorist attacks. This move toward preemptive surveillance has also been
combined with a shift toward mass, generalized surveillance of everyday activities.
Also, in the wake of the Snowden disclosures in 2013, legislative reforms to surveillance practices
were considered necessary in order to restore public trust. A few months later in October 2013, the

These countries were pretty successful at obtaining sensitive Intel. However, in the 21st century
surveillance is used in a different and more complicated way. Due to the drastic increase in crime
rates and recent terrorist attacks, governments around the world were forced to use electronic
surveillance to protect their own people. The electronic surveillance that each government conducts
is so complex and covert that you don't even know that you are the target. The US government has
become one of the biggest cases of this kind of surveillance. The US government has been
employing several forms of high level surveillance such as wiretapping, CCTV cameras (Closed
Circuit Televisions, aka street cameras) and now internet data by looking at the information
transferred between devices. The thought that the government was secretly watching their citizens

Donovan, who was the head and director of OSS, believed that the US government should create a
new intelligence agency where the intelligence operation should not be controlled by other parties,
but by the President currently in the office. He says that this would be a vital part of the national
defense, and that the creation should be solely be in discretion for the President. The disbandment of
the OSS was only the start of a bigger plan of national defense for the United States, the foundation
and creation of the Central Intelligence Agency. After the end of the war and abolition of the OSS,
US leaders planned to create a foreign intelligence that was capable of supporting the country's new
role as a superpower in the world. One of the US leaders Donovan, proposed [during a campaign
between 1943 and 1945] for an establishment of a postwar peacetime intelligence that would report
directly to the president itself. Many people however were opposed to this idea for many reasons,
one being that many did not believe that the new organization should not report directly to the
president. Others also believed that a foreign intelligence agency was a waste of money and
resources. The creation of a new intelligence became a big problem in the US government since
many people had diverging opinions about the establishment of a new foreign intelligence. "There is

Well the agency has had issues with legality, and also may have misused some techniques to spy on
more than just troublesome, and threatening groups. Most recently, the NSA was questioned for its
over surveillance, of cell phones, emails, and internet activity of American citizens. This information

public. Mr. Snowden, told it all, he unveiled that the NSA had been tracking cell phone calls,
locations, and even looking into history from social media and internet use. The biggest issue in all
of this is that it is an invasion of American privacy. As written in the New Yorker by Amy Davidson,
in early 2013, it states, "the NSA. isn't supposed to be spying on Americans, not without a warrant
or court order premised on a specific link to a foreign terrorist." This is an issue that grabbed my

that they weren't supposed to be viewing anyway. Instead they seemed to have a more of a why not

years later, in 1959, the Cuban Revolution, led by Fidel Castro, caught the attention of the US
government. When Castro asked the US for support, it was denied, and in result Castro turned to the
Soviet Union. Eisenhower responded to this by prompting the CIA to begin training Cuban exiles
for invasion. Additionally, in Iran, the CIA helped rid of an elected government to support a
dictatorship that would allow the US access to oil, this is the first piece of evidence showing the CIA

Israel, but also attempted to build relationships with Arab nations to secure their oil. These foreign
decisions began to form a pattern of protecting US capitalist interests in countries that weren't an

Intelligence Agencies
Introduction
The events of September 11, which are partly associated with errors in the work of the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS), raised the issue of reforming the agency both in the countries of the
old democracy and in the countries of the new democracy. Most of the discussions about reforming
the work of the special services in the fight against terrorism are reduced to the exchange of
information between the structures of power. However, it is only by understanding the nature of the
tasks of the special services in combating terrorism that it is possible to develop the necessary
"architecture" or organizational structure suitable for the solution of the task. The task of the special
services at this stage ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Unlike special services, law enforcement structures exist completely in another system of rules and
traditions. In a democracy, the most important rule is when, before the state can use its power of
coercion or punishment, it must provide evidence to an impartial body – the judicial branch of
government. Before a state can use information against its own citizens, a proper legal procedure
should be applied, presupposing a certain degree of openness. The ideal application of criminal law
in an open, democratic society is that the authorities that are tasked with this task should focus on
establishing a measure of responsibility after the supposition of the crime. They should more engage
in collecting information in the forms provided for by the criminal justice system, information that is
used either to investigate after the conclusion of a crime, or as evidence in a formal, individualized
procedure for adjudicating a specific, proven offense. The more law enforcement agencies are in line
with democratic and constitutional processes, the more attention is paid to the law enforcement
agencies involved in investigative work and to how legally they use the information they collect, as
well as the responsibility of law enforcement agencies to society and constitutionally determined
political power. Following these principles should be at the center of attention when reforming law

Analysis of Defense Intelligence Agency
The DIA started in 1958. The organizational structure of the DoD and U.S. foreign intelligence
came to a new shape with the establishment of DIA. It was Robert McNamara, then Secretary of
Defense, who came up with the concept of DIA in 1961. DIA gathers human source intelligence,
analyzes technical intelligence, distributes intelligence/reports to the intelligence agencies, provides
advice and support to the Joint Chiefs of Staff with foreign military intelligence, and provides
military intelligence to combatant commands as its operational functions. A DIA director is
supposed to be a three–star military general and DIA is believed to have employed at least 7,500
staff worldwide today. The DIA is a defense intelligence agency that prevents ... Show more content

information on foreign military intelligence, political assessments, troop movement, weapons
distribution, military capabilities, diplomatic changes, economic issues, and more. These
informations are distributed to policymakers, defense officials, combat commanders, and others in
the intelligence community and thus, U.S. foreign policies are drafted. While talking about the
DIA's oversight, as one news source says, the DIA congressional oversight sight is difficult as DIA
activities are controlled by Pentagon. Like CIA, which acts on its own without congressional
knowledge or approval, DIA is the second one to act on its free will. Lack of budget maybe there,
congressional oversight may not exist––DIA however still carries a significant meaning and plays an
important role in the US national security even today. The Tet Offensive in Vietnam, the taking of
American hostages in Iran, the overthrow of Idi Amin in Uganda, and North Korea's nuclear
proliferation are some few examples that speaks great volume about DIA being important, not
redundant. It is said the Defense Department planned to expand its DIA operatives to 1,600 people

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has proved its worth throughout the world. The organization
was able to push past all prejudice in order to protect the people of the United States. Today it is a

powerful and organized bureau that has asserted its dominance and altered the face of society
throughout the entire world since its beginning in 1947. The United States has since become an even

Originally, Bill Donovan was in control of the OSS, which was created in the early 1940s by
President Franklin Roosevelt. Roosevelt created the OSS because with World War II approaching
the U.S., he needed information on the other countries' plans. Later though, after Roosevelt died,
Truman came to power and because he did not know Donovan and had received negative reports on
the OSS, he shut it down on October 1, 1945. Two years later, however, Truman recognized the need
for the organization and was willing to recreate it, just not with Donovan and his OSS leading it
(Walker, 2015). In 1947 he created the CIA in order to better handle the challenges found in the
Cold War. The changing from the OSS to the CIA left a huge impact on America in the future. As
the CIA began standing up with its own beliefs against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),
the organization was able to change America's views on communism and the Soviet Union entirely.
Due to the conflict between the FBI and the CIA, the propaganda from the CIA overemphasized its

The Cia And Central Intelligence Agency
The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) in the United States has been involved in several operations
with drug trafficking. Some of these reports claim that the evidence of the Congress indicates that
the CIA worked with groups that were known to be involved in drug trafficking. The deals mainly
include providing the CIA with useful information and support material, in exchange for allowing
their criminal activities to continue, and impede or prevent the arrest, prosecution and imprisonment
from United States law enforcement agencies. This "war on drugs" was used as an easy way to
increase repression in inner cities and confiscate millions of dollars in private assets through
unconstitutional forfeiture laws. These assets were used to fund police burgeoning, and as an active
participant in the illegal drug trade, public resources were used to bring heroin and cocaine into
American inner cities since the 1960 's.
The most controversial public episode was when the report of the Kerry Committee came to the
conclusion that the members of the Department of State of the United States of America "those who
had provided support for the contras, were involved in drug trafficking [ ... ] and the own elements
of the contras, were received with his consent financial and material assistance from drug
traffickers".

course of my Honours thesis and my Masters. I have developed upon existing areas of research,
such as when I applied existing theories and models of strategic intelligence to a new context – that

military presence is located. They work side by side with military soldiers ensuring assisting with

with law enforcement agencies, but they are not the only agencies this occurs too. Other foreign
intelligence organizations have the same issue as well. The Department of Defense (DoD) who is

awareness of their existence, the friction between the organizations is more prominently. "Defense

intelligence. [6] Being able to be aggressive during the collection process and being analytically
precise, it provides an advantage when making tough decisions for war fighters and the

Ever since the events of September 11, 2001, when terrorists used commercial airliners to attack the

nation of free people balance an individual's right to privacy with the transparency necessary to
secure the safety of the citizenry? Typically this debate has been waged regarding things such as
full–body security scanners, National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance programs, and increased
investigation powers granted to local police. However, recently the debate has struck far closer to
home; into the purses and back pockets of nearly every American. Consumers are demanding that
manufacturers and software developers do everything possible to provide the best communication
security possible. This has led to an explosion of encrypted communication methods and secure
devices which in turn poses an issue for law enforcement and intelligence agencies. How does the
nation reconcile these two needs; on one hand, Americans expect their communications to be
completely private, while the government requires a means to review the communications of
criminal and terrorist suspects for investigations. Do technology developers have an obligation to

Today's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
Executive Summary
CIA – Central Intelligence Agency
Today's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is centered on the same basic principles as the Office of
Strategic Services (OSS) in the 1940's but with some significant changes, specifically in its
organization and methods. The OSS, the world's first global intelligence organization, was organized
and overseen by "Wild Bill Donovan" and expanded at an unprecedented pace throughout World
War II. The OSS was the foundation for today's CIA. It was because of the successes and failures of
the OSS that the CIA has been able to grow and develop.
As is made clear by the detailed descriptions of Bill Donovan's routine and procedures in the
biography "Wild Bill Donovan" by Douglas Waller, the leadership and management of the CIA
today is drastically different from the original OSS. Donovan was appointed by FDR, in the same
way the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency is today. Yet Donovan's duties were extremely
vague and up to interpretation, including performing "unspecified 'supplementary activities'" for the
president." While the overall mission of the CIA today is open ended which means it needs only the
approval of the National Security Council to embark on new, possibly unprecedented missions, the

Intelligence Agency : The Intelligence Bureau ( Ib ) And...
Intelligence philosophers such as Sun Tzu, Kautilya and Machiavelli have stressed on the
importance of strategic intelligence for the security of a nation and the history across the world is
evident with its prime examples. Such is also the case of India and in this presentation we will be
examining some key historic Indian events and their impact on the country's two foremost
intelligence agencies – the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
Towards the end we will also consider the influence of such events on the future of Indian
intelligence.
Established in 1887, branded as the Central Special Branch up to 1903 and then as the Department
of Intelligence until 1920, the IB's primary function back then was to provide political and religious
intelligence across British India (Mahadevan, 2012, p. 28). The British assigned its British–Indian
military intelligence agencies with external intelligence but interestingly, post India's independence
in 1947, the IB was entrusted with this duty therefore making it the country's foreign and national
intelligence agency between 1947 and 1968 (Melson, 2006).
Unable to meet the inflated demands by policy makers back in the 1960's, IB was accused of
intelligence failure as India faced an awkward loss at the Sino–Indian War of 1962 against China
followed by Pakistan's surprise intrusion in 1965 over the disputed region of Kashmir. Given the

Why Intelligence Agencies And Analysts Exist
One of the four primary reasons why intelligence agencies and analysts exist is to support the policy
process, which consequently impacts national security decisions. As a result, intelligence
community analysts and decision makers must maintain a relationship with policy makers.
However, there is an ongoing debate within the intelligence community, academic institutions, and
the public regarding the distant and proximate models of this relationship. In an effort to determine
the best possible relationship model between intelligence analysts and policy makers, the roots of
both the distant and proximate models will be discussed; then, a stance will be taken on what the
preferred model should be and supported based off the evidence ... Show more content on

Additionally, the distant relationship model enables analysts to work on a problem set of their choice
as long as it is within the bounds set by their intelligence manager. While enabling analysts to have
such freedoms is perceived as a positive it can also be a negative. Intelligence analysts own agenda
can take the forefront while their consumers ' needs lose the necessary precedence. Also as a result
of being too distant from the policy maker, the needs of the policy maker may not be known;
therefore, intelligence may not be produced on a problem set of interest to the policy world.
According to Johnson and Wirtz, the second school of thought, the proximate model, receives its
origins from Robert Gates, former Director of Central Intelligence and Secretary Of Defense. In the
mid–1980s Robert Gates, while serving as the Deputy Director for Analysis at the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA), spearheaded the notion of actionable intelligence, when he became upset
with the agency 's analysts, who blatantly disregarded request to fulfill policy makers' needs. Gates
argued that by producing actionable intelligence, intelligence analysts must remain cognizant of
policy maker needs, resulting in a more relevant finished intelligence product. Thus, the proximate
relationship model between intelligence analysts and policy makers was formed.

Defense Intelligence Agency And Military Intelligence

  • 1. Defense Intelligence Agency And Military Intelligence The Defense Intelligence agency is a United States intelligence agency that provides foreign military intelligence operating under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense. According to its website it is "Department of Defense combat support agency that produces analyses and disseminates military intelligence information." The foreign military intelligence like political assessments, troop movements, diplomatic changes etc. are distributed among the policy makers, defense officials, combat commanders and other intelligence agencies. The headquarters of the DIA is situated at Joint Base Anacostia Building, Washington DC and was formed in 1961. It employs approximately 7,500 staff worldwide. The Director of the DIA is at least a three star military general. The DIA was formed with the intention of creating a centralized single point access to all defense military intelligence information. Before the formation of the DIA the Department of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Military Intelligence board would do their own collection, analysis and distribution of information using both military and civilian intelligence officers (Defense Intelligence Agency, 2014). They would help in the deciding the defense intelligence policy. The function of DIA encompasses five main operations: 1. Gather human source information 2. Analyze technical information (crunching of information using computers) 3. Distribution of intelligence/ reports to intelligence agencies 4. Provide ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Countries that are part of United Nations have been combined force that if there is a situation around the world, all the nations including the United States will meet up and decide what the corrective action to resolve the issue is.

Many agencies ae trying to continue to gather information on potential terrorist or attacks before they can happen and without the proper relationships between the federal agencies, this will continue to be a complete failure. Terrorist attacks on the United States have been going on for decades or since the 1980 's when the United States Embassy was bombed that killed numerous Americans and civilian casualties. There was also the bombing at Khobar Towers in Beirut which happened months after the embassy incident. This attack killed numerous marines and injured many civilians that were present during that fateful day. This was long before the likes of Al Qaida and ISIS. Both were surprise attacks and there was not any warning giving but that was just the beginning of numerous attempts into the future years.

The Central Intelligence Agency Defines Terrorism Professor Williamson November 13, 2015 Paper 2 – Question 2 The Central Intelligence Agency defines terrorism as "premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents" (CIA). This term was specifically created to differentiate terrorism between other acts of violence. These doings of terrorism are not just any act but are specific acts of violence. A dominant reason behind terrorism tends to fall upon religious beliefs and culture ties. Terrorism has been an important part of social behavior for over 2,000 years. Between the years of 1980 and 1995, terroristic groups motivated by religious beliefs had increased by 43% (Hoffman). Religious beliefs and culture are a main reason groups and individuals resort to terrorism. Groups resort to terrorism as a consequence of seeing their culture demolished, as well as religious motives. Terrorist groups have many intentions when it comes to acts of terrorism. They main ones are they want to create fear globally, weaken the government, and obtain universal recognition for what they have done. Religiously motivated terrorist groups usually have high authority targets. These targets include government offices, banks, and national airlines. From the group's perspective, terrorism is the only practical option. Groups are formed centered on certain factors like culture and religion.

An internal Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) investigation revealed that CIA Task Forces failed to share information with the FBI about two suspected terrorists, Nawaf al–Hazmi and Khalid al–Mihdhar, as they entered the United States (9/11 Commission Report). The U.S Intelligence Community is made up of 15 different agencies, offices, and organizations within the Executive branch.

The Intelligence the CIA acquires is used to provide strategic and tactical advantages to take action in order to prevent threats and to advance the United States' National security goals. The CIA organizes covert activities and objective analysis that seeks to provide the outcome of keeping our Nation safe. Founded during World War II President Roosevelt appointed William Donovan the first coordinator of the CIA. After the War ended, President Truman recognized the need for a Central Intelligence Agency this led him to Sign the National Security Act of 1947. The most recent change came after 9/11 when President Bush signed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act which creamed a director over the Central Intelligence and National Intelligence. Both directors are accountable for Counterterrorism and the Intelligence Community.

This surveillance that we encounter everyday is for our personal protection, but what happens when this protection is used for the wrong reasons or is abused? That is a concern that almost everyone has, and that is if they have some sort of privacy in their daily lives. "Surveillance Abuse is the use of police investigation methods or technology to supervise the activity of an individual or group of individuals in a way which violates the social norms or laws of a society" (US Legal, Inc.). Citizens of the U.S. worry whether their privacy is at risk or is being protected by our government. The topic of Surveillance Abuse and Culture will be ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Its key feature is that people actively participate in an attempt to regulate their own surveillance and the surveillance of others. There is growing evidence of patterns of perspectives, outlooks, or mentalities on surveillance. The term "surveillance culture" has appeared before, but it has yet to be treated as a broad phenomenon in its own right and theorized as a development distinct from others. The culture of surveillance was becoming visible at the turn of the 21st century, especially after the 9/11 attacks on America and the advent of social media, and became even clearer after Edward Snowden copied and released documents from the NSA in 2013. It is no longer merely something external that imposes a threat on our lives. It is something that everyday citizens comply with– willingly and wittingly, or not–negotiate, resist, engage with, and even initiate and desire. A key transformation of surveillance after 9/11 involves the emphasis on the future. Rather than focusing on the detection of past acts, law enforcement and security efforts are now geared toward the prevention of future terrorist attacks. This move toward preemptive surveillance has also been combined with a shift toward mass, generalized surveillance of everyday activities. Also, in the wake of the Snowden disclosures in 2013, legislative reforms to surveillance practices were considered necessary in order to restore public trust.

However, in the 21st century surveillance is used in a different and more complicated way. Due to the drastic increase in crime rates and recent terrorist attacks, governments around the world were forced to use electronic surveillance to protect their own people. The electronic surveillance that each government conducts is so complex and covert that you don't even know that you are the target. The US government has become one of the biggest cases of this kind of surveillance. The US government has been employing several forms of high level surveillance such as wiretapping, CCTV cameras (Closed Circuit Televisions, aka street cameras) and now internet data by looking at the information transferred between devices. The thought that the government was secretly watching their citizens every move has been talked about for some time now. Although this talk was widespread and sort of heard of, there was no definitive proof. However, suspicions were confirmed in 2013 due to a man by the name of Edward Snowden leaking classified information from the NSA's archives. Amongst the leaked information, evidence showed that the NSA had been spying on millions of innocent people, and said monitoring is still being conducted.

This rise of tension was called the Cold War since no major wars occurred during this time, but both nations had the capacity and power to start another World War, had they both declared war on each other.

Donovan, who was the head and director of OSS, believed that the US government should create a new intelligence agency where the intelligence operation should not be controlled by other parties, but by the President currently in the office. He says that this would be a vital part of the national defense, and that the creation should be solely be in discretion for the President. The disbandment of the OSS was only the start of a bigger plan of national defense for the United States, the foundation and creation of the Central Intelligence Agency. After the end of the war and abolition of the OSS, US leaders planned to create a foreign intelligence that was capable of supporting the country's new role as a superpower in the world. One of the US leaders Donovan, proposed [during a campaign between 1943 and 1945] for an establishment of a postwar peacetime intelligence that would report directly to the president itself. Many people however were opposed to this idea for many reasons, one being that many did not believe that the new organization should not report directly to the president. Others also believed that a foreign intelligence agency was a waste of money and resources. The creation of a new intelligence became a big problem in the US government since many people had diverging opinions about the establishment of a new foreign intelligence. "There is hereby established under the National Security Council a Central Intelligence Agency with a Director of Central Intelligence, who shall be the head thereof. The Director shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, from among the commissioned officers of the armed services or from among individuals in civilian life.

Most recently, the NSA was questioned for its over surveillance, of cell phones, emails, and internet activity of American citizens. This information wasn't even know about, until 2013, when former NSA contractor, Edward Snowden leaked it to the public. Mr. Snowden, told it all, he unveiled that the NSA had been tracking cell phone calls, locations, and even looking into history from social media and internet use. The biggest issue in all of this is that it is an invasion of American privacy. As written in the New Yorker by Amy Davidson, in early 2013, it states, "the NSA. isn't supposed to be spying on Americans, not without a warrant or court order premised on a specific link to a foreign terrorist." This is an issue that grabbed my attention right away. Why was the NSA looking through this information anyway? What I discovered was the NSA really had no reasoning behind why they were tracking all this information, that they weren't supposed to be viewing anyway. Instead they seemed to have a more of a why not do this excuse. The NSA looked at it, as though they were doing the right thing by tracking everything we did. In their minds they were doing everything they could to ensure there was, absolutely no signs of terrorism anywhere. Now it does ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Abstract Upon analyzing 9/11 it was clear to focus on the limitations that the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Central Intelligence Agency had faced. Security breaches and poor intelligence sharing were just some of the critical failures that were encountered. Moreover, the main focus is pointed towards the miscommunication between these two agencies. Evidently, the execution and tactical strategies went unnoticed despite the apparent red flags that presented themselves, in addition to the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Central Intelligence Agency failure to pursue threats and establish a baseline of security resulted in the disaster of 9/11. In conjunction to these mistakes, the restriction of shared information ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... By disregarding cues of possible terrorist attacks and constant mistakes within the American Intelligence for not planning ahead, the United States failed to achieve its number one goal as a governing body: not keeping its citizens safe. It is important to dig into the issue of the disaster of 9/11 and completely understand the reason for failed prevention efforts. Moreover adding to these issues was the lack of communication and information shared between the two agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigations and Central Intelligence Agency. When something tragic, devastating even happens, you remember exactly where you were, who you were with, what you were doing, and how old you were when it happened. Whether you want to remember it or not is out of your control. It is tattooed in your brain for good. The moment everyone in America shares in common is September 11, 2001 when the World Trade Centers were attacked by 19 al– Qaeda terrorists. The entire nation went into an immediate state of mourning and panic as they were discovering the victims of the attacks. Many often asked if there was something that could have been done to maybe have prevented this from happening. Was there something on the federal side that could have been done?

Intelligence Agencies Privacy Analysis 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 view of intelligence agencies.

The CIA is responsible for "coordinating the nation's intelligence activities and correlating, evaluating and disseminating intelligence affecting national security." Before the CIA was developed President Franklin D. Roosevelt had the idea to create an agency that was responsible for intelligence agencies. This agency became known as the Office of Strategic Services. He hired New York lawyer and war veteran William J. Donovan to create a plan that outlined the new intelligence service. In July of 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt approved the plan and appointed William J. Donovan as the first Coordinator of Information. Once the ...

Before the attack was carried out by Japanese military forces, the Japanese had cut off all communications with the United States Military and then broke off all negotiations with the United States. Tension between the US and Japan can be traced back to the early nineteenth century. Japanese had been planning this attack on the United States since early 1941. The goal of the attack was to prevent the US from entering World Was 2 by weakening their Naval Base. In reality the attack only helped persuade American people to go to war, where as before the attack most Americans were anti–war, they believed that it was better to stay out of the war unless we had been attacked by another country first. In this case an organized international intelligence agency stronger than the Office of Strategic Services like the CIA would have been responsible for gathering information on a large scale about Japan and why the US had had no communications with the Japanese for a significant amount of time.

Within that same year, Guatemala was being run by elected reformist Jacobo Arbenz, whom was accepting support from a local Communist Party. Consequently, the CIA helped support an opposition party who overthrew Arbenz and installed a dictatorship (Roark, et al. 818). Several years later, in 1959, the Cuban Revolution, led by Fidel Castro, caught the attention of the US government. When Castro asked the US for support, it was denied, and in result Castro turned to the Soviet Union. Eisenhower responded to this by prompting the CIA to begin training Cuban exiles for invasion. Additionally, in Iran, the CIA helped rid of an elected government to support a dictatorship that would allow the US access to oil, this is the first piece of evidence showing the CIA was in coordination to capitalist interests and there was a link between the CIA and oil industry. Eisenhower authorized a coup which put Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlaui back in government over Mohammad Mossadegh. Also in the Middle East, Eisenhower continued Truman's friendship with Israel, but also attempted to build relationships with Arab nations to secure their oil.

The Evolution Of Competing Secret Intelligence Agencies The evolution of competing secret intelligence agencies only began to occur during world war one when developing technologies meant gathering information on the enemy was entering new phases of complexity. The need for information became an increasingly more desperate pursuit as new devastating weapons were created which could inflict widespread and catastrophic damage, escalating from chemical weapons, to nuclear warheads. But as the 20th century proved conflicts became increasingly focused on the clash of political ideologies, while the two world wars managed to quash right wing fascism, a new perceived threat came from the opposite side of the political spectrum, communism. Here was an ideology to threaten and challenge the sacred ideals of American capitalist democracy, and those in the US who had climbed to power through this system saw the possible undoing of this in communism. As the US–soviet Union cold war developed, the national security council advised the president for the creation of a central intelligence agency whose task would be to 'correlate and evaluate intelligence relating to the national security, but not to have any police, subpoena, law enforcing powers or internal security functions'.

Unlike special services, law enforcement structures exist completely in another system of rules and traditions. In a democracy, the most important rule is when, before the state can use its power of coercion or punishment, it must provide evidence to an impartial body – the judicial branch of government. Before a state can use information against its own citizens, a proper legal procedure should be applied, presupposing a certain degree of openness. The ideal application of criminal law in an open, democratic society is that the authorities that are tasked with this task should focus on establishing a measure of responsibility after the supposition of the crime. They should more engage in collecting information in the forms provided for by the criminal justice system, information that is used either to investigate after the conclusion of a crime, or as evidence in a formal, individualized procedure for adjudicating a specific, proven offense. The more law enforcement agencies are in line with democratic and constitutional processes, the more attention is paid to the law enforcement agencies involved in investigative work and to how legally they use the information they collect, as well as the responsibility of law enforcement agencies to society and constitutionally determined political power.

Roosevelt created the OSS because with World War II approaching the U.S., he needed information on the other countries' plans. Later though, after Roosevelt died, Truman came to power and because he did not know Donovan and had received negative reports on the OSS, he shut it down on October 1, 1945. Two years later, however, Truman recognized the need for the organization and was willing to recreate it, just not with Donovan and his OSS leading it (Walker, 2015). In 1947 he created the CIA in order to better handle the challenges found in the Cold War. The changing from the OSS to the CIA left a huge impact on America in the future.

Security Enforcement And Intelligence Agencies Essay Ever since the events of September 11, 2001, when terrorists used commercial airliners to attack the homeland and kill nearly 3,000 people, Americans have been faced with a conundrum. How does a nation of free people balance an individual's right to privacy with the transparency necessary to secure the safety of the citizenry? Typically this debate has been waged regarding things such as full–body security scanners, National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance programs, and increased investigation powers granted to local police. However, recently the debate has struck far closer to home; into the purses and back pockets of nearly every American. Consumers are demanding that manufacturers and software developers do everything possible to provide the best communication security possible. This has led to an explosion of encrypted communication methods and secure devices which in turn poses an issue for law enforcement and intelligence agencies. How does the nation reconcile these two needs; on one hand, Americans expect their communications to be completely private, while the government requires a means to review the communications of criminal and terrorist suspects for investigations. Do technology developers have an obligation to build in backdoors for government exploitation or provide decryption keys to law enforcement? Does the government have the right to hack those security measures if companies don't comply with requests for assistance? How will these two differing ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Today's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Executive Summary CIA – Central Intelligence Agency Today's Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is centered on the same basic principles as the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in the 1940's but with some significant changes, specifically in its organization and methods. The OSS, the world's first global intelligence organization, was organized and overseen by "Wild Bill Donovan" and expanded at an unprecedented pace throughout World War II. The OSS was the foundation for today's CIA. It was because of the successes and failures of the OSS that the CIA has been able to grow and develop. As is made clear by the detailed descriptions of Bill Donovan's routine and procedures in the biography "Wild Bill Donovan" by Douglas Waller, the leadership and management of the CIA today is drastically different from the original OSS. Donovan was appointed by FDR, in the same way the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency is today. Yet Donovan's duties were extremely vague and up to interpretation, including performing "unspecified 'supplementary activities'" for the president." While the overall mission of the CIA today is open ended which means it needs only the approval of the National Security Council to embark on new, possibly unprecedented missions, the functions of the ...

Intelligence philosophers such as Sun Tzu, Kautilya and Machiavelli have stressed on the importance of strategic intelligence for the security of a nation and the history across the world is evident with its prime examples. Such is also the case of India and in this presentation we will be examining some key historic Indian events and their impact on the country's two foremost intelligence agencies – the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). Towards the end we will also consider the influence of such events on the future of Indian intelligence. Established in 1887, branded as the Central Special Branch up to 1903 and then as the Department of Intelligence until 1920, the IB's primary function back then was to provide political and religious intelligence across British India (Mahadevan, 2012, p. 28). The British assigned its British–Indian military intelligence agencies with external intelligence but interestingly, post India's independence in 1947, the IB was entrusted with this duty therefore making it the country's foreign and national intelligence agency between 1947 and 1968 (Melson, 2006). Unable to meet the inflated demands by policy makers back in the 1960's, IB was accused of intelligence failure as India faced an awkward loss at the Sino–Indian War of 1962 against China followed by Pakistan's surprise intrusion in 1965 over the disputed region of Kashmir. Given the defensive personality of the country's national security system, the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 150. Why Intelligence Agencies And Analysts Exist One of the four primary reasons why intelligence agencies and analysts exist is to support the policy process, which consequently impacts national security decisions. As a result, intelligence community analysts and decision makers must maintain a relationship with policy makers. However, there is an ongoing debate within the intelligence community, academic institutions, and the public regarding the distant and proximate models of this relationship. In an effort to determine the best possible relationship model between intelligence analysts and policy makers, the roots of both the distant and proximate models will be discussed; then, a stance will be taken on what the preferred model should be and supported based off the evidence ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Additionally, the distant relationship model enables analysts to work on a problem set of their choice as long as it is within the bounds set by their intelligence manager. While enabling analysts to have such freedoms is perceived as a positive it can also be a negative. Intelligence analysts own agenda can take the forefront while their consumers ' needs lose the necessary precedence. Also as a result of being too distant from the policy maker, the needs of the policy maker may not be known; therefore, intelligence may not be produced on a problem set of interest to the policy world. According to Johnson and Wirtz, the second school of thought, the proximate model, receives its origins from Robert Gates, former Director of Central Intelligence and Secretary Of Defense. In the mid–1980s Robert Gates, while serving as the Deputy Director for Analysis at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), spearheaded the notion of actionable intelligence, when he became upset with the agency 's analysts, who blatantly disregarded request to fulfill policy makers' needs. Gates argued that by producing actionable intelligence, intelligence analysts must remain cognizant of policy maker needs, resulting in a more relevant finished intelligence product. Thus, the proximate relationship model between intelligence analysts and policy makers was formed. As is the case with any model, the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
