Attached for your consideration is a 2002 paper titled "Homeland Security and the Analysis of Foreign Intelligence" which describes how foreign intelligence analysis contributes to homeland security. It begins with an overview of the structure and operations of the intelligence community (p. 2-6), and then focuses more tightly on CIA's analytic practices (p. 6-12) before addressing the role of the DCI's Counterterrorist Center in providing intelligence analysis to national level decisionmakers (p. 12-14). Parts of the overview have been OBE'd with the recent creation of the DNI, NCTC and other changes, but for those interested in intelligence analysis processes, this paper provides an inside look at how CIA analysts do what they do as written by a former CIA analyst. It provides content similar to--but at a much greater level of granularity than--the sections of the July 2004 SSCI Report on the U.S. IC's Prewar Intelligence Assessments on Iraq titled "An Analyst’s Daily Taskings" and "The Finished Product" (ie. pages 6-8). I wrote this paper in 2002 at the request of Philip Zelikow who was then the executive director of the Markle Foundation Task Force on National Security in the Information Age. (More recently Dr. Zelikow has been executive director of the 9/11 Commission, and is now the Counselor of the Department of State and advisor to SecState Rice.) In 2002 Dr. Zelikow asked me to write a background paper for the Markle Foundation Task Force addressing the role that foreign intelligence analysis--especially that produced by the DCI Counterterrorist Center--played in protecting homeland security. The draft was subsequently edited by Bruce Berkowitz, and posted to the Markle Foundation Task Force website, where it can also be acquired: http://markletaskforce.org/documents/marrin_071502.pdf It has since been re-printed in AFIO's journal "Intelligencer" (V.14.N.1--Winter/Spring 2004. 43-51.) but I never took the opportunity to let others like yourselves who are interested in intelligence issues know about its availability. I hope it is of interest to you, and welcome any comments you may have.
