		Intelligence can be used, for example, to learn about the structure, membership, finances, communications, and activities of drug-trafficking organizations as well as specific operational details of particular illegal drug-smuggling or money-laundering activities.
		EPIC has a primary role to provide intelligence and law enforcement information in support of interdiction and investigative efforts against the movement of illegal drugs toward U.S. borders; over maritime and air approaches; along the nation's interstate and state highway systems; and through its airports, bus terminals, railway stations, and commercial courier systems.
		EPIC has placed special emphasis on supporting counterdrug efforts along the U.S./Mexico border by performing research and analysis of information to develop an understanding of drug movement through Mexico and across the Southwest border, and to identify the major trafficking organizations responsible for that drug movement.

		Intelligence information can tell us about the structure, membership, finances, communications, and activities of criminal drug organizations, in addition to the specific details of particular drug smuggling or money laundering operations.
		This intelligence information is crucial for formulating sound policy and conducting drug supply reduction activities because it enables us to learn about the groups that traffic drugs, to discover the points at which they are most vulnerable to attack, and ultimately to disrupt and dismantle them.
		The greatest challenges to these intelligence bodies are, first, to capitalize on the opportunities to collect potentially useful information and, second, to analyze, coordinate, and disseminate that information so that it aids our national drug control programs.

	Management and Reform of Intelligence (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The possibilities for fusion and all-source intelligence (the dissemination of intelligence among all the "tribes" or disciplines of intelligence, including law enforcement and the private sector) have been discussed extensively by Robert Steele (2000; 2002) who runs OSS.net and is a staunch advocate of intelligence reform aimed at getting the nation up to full capacity.
		Technically, all-source intelligence analysis is that analysis which is based on all available collection sources, and it is normally the opposite of a case-oriented, law enforcement approach that is focused on a specific mission, specific type of threat, and specific perpetrator or defendant.
		It permits foreign intelligence techniques to be used for criminal justice purposes, and it maintains the secrecy of the intelligence apparatus (the Mitchell Doctrine) as well.
