Intelligence/ Threat challenges
Vickers will never learn, but the rest
of you might be interested in the ten high level threats to humanity and the
USA as identified and prioritized by LtGen Brent Scowcroft, USAF (Ret) and the
rest of the High Level Panel on Threats Challenges, and Change: 01 Poverty 02 Infectious Disease 03 Environmental Degradation 04
Inter-State Conflict, 05 Civil War 06 Genocide 07 Other Atrocities 08
Proliferation 09 Terrorism 10
This is utter idiocy. Vickers is
proposing to spend more money on more technology, none of which will make
America safer. I've called for the firing of Clapper, Vickers, and Brennan, not
going to happen but it should. These people are disgracing the
intelligence profession -- intelligence is about decision-support (the
outputs), not about spending money on corporate welfare (the inputs). See my indictment of Vickers as
published in CounterPunch, "On Defense Intelligence - Seven Strikes."
What Vickers does not know about ethical evidence-based decision support to
strategy, policy, acquisition, and operations defies belief.
