Open Source Intelligence - slår hemlig info

The battle was engaged at 17:00 on a Thursday and the delivery deadline was 10:00 the next Monday. On Monday morning Steele showed up with: * The names of the top 10 journalists covering Burundi (ripe for debriefing) * The names of the top 10 academics covering Burundi (ripe for debriefing) * 20 two-page executive-level political-military summaries on Burundi * Burundi order-of-battle information down to the tribal level. * 1:50 maps of the country * 1:50 cloud-free imagery of the country that was less than 3 years old. The CIA showed up with a PowerPoint chart of nominal value and a regional – not country-specific – economic study. You could pretty much conduct a non-combat operation in Burundi with Steele's info; you wouldn't send your worst enemy to Burundi based on what the CIA provided.
