A DHS intelligence enterprise: still just a vision or reality?: hearing before the Subcommittee on Intelligence, Information Sharing, and Terrorism Risk Assessment of the Committee on Homeland Security, House of Representatives, One Hundred Eleventh Congress, second session, May 12, 2010.
A primary mission of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism, and minimise the damage, and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur in the United States. To support this mission, DHS has had an intelligence component since its inception in 2003. The Homeland Security Act of 2002, assigned the original DHS intelligence component, was given the responsibility to receive, analyse, and integrate the law enforcement and intelligence information. This book provides an overview of the DHS Intelligence Enterprise and how it is organised and examines the key departmental activities and issues involved in thwarting terrorism.
The role of intelligence in US government operations has changed dramatically and is now more critical than ever to domestic security and foreign policy. This authoritative and highly researched book written by Jeffrey T. Richelson provides a detailed overview of America's vast intelligence empire, from its organizations and operations to its management structure. Drawing from a multitude of sources, including hundreds of official documents, The US Intelligence Community allows students to understand the full scope of intelligence organizations and activities, and gives valuable support to policymakers and military operations. The seventh edition has been fully revised to include a new chapter on the major issues confronting the intelligence community, including secrecy and leaks, domestic spying, and congressional oversight, as well as revamped chapters on signals intelligence and cyber collection, geospatial intelligence, and open sources. The inclusion of more maps, tables and photos, as well as electronic briefing books on the book's Web site, makes The US Intelligence Community an even more valuable and engaging resource for students.
