A collection of expert articles provides an informative and critical insight into homeland security and the new intelligence community in the post-9/11 environment.
Few issues are as important-or as controversial. Homeland Security and Intelligence offers a series of articles written to inform readers about changes in homeland security intelligence, to explain the new structure of the intelligence community (IC), and to enable readers to question the effectiveness of the new intelligence processes.
A brief history of intelligence in the United States covers past and current structures of the IC and the fundamentals of intelligence. There is an in-depth look at the new Fusion Centers and efforts to improve information-sharing among the federal, state, local, and private sectors. The book also addresses the critical questions of whether the IC is working as intended-and whether there is an effective system of checks and balance to govern it. Finally, there is an examination of issues that should be addressed for our future security. Each of the contributing authors draws on his unique experiences to provide the reader with a critical understanding of what has happened since 9/11 and where homeland security intelligence should be looking now.
