	Intelligence gathering network - Definition, explanation
		In the broadest possible form, an intelligence gathering network is a system through which information about a particular entity is collected for the benefit of another.
		Intelligence is a military and/or governmental term referring to the information used in making decisions.
		The network part indicates a multiplicity of collectors of the intelligence, and the transport mechanism which communicates the collected information to a safe location where it can be analyzed and used in the decision making process.

		The military has a long history of intelligence gathering and evaluation, but military intelligence agencies were virtually independent of each other and of other government agencies for much of this history.
		In the uneasy atmosphere of the mid-1980s, the definition of "enemies of the state" expanded rapidly, extending the role of the intelligence community.
		The budget for military intelligence in 1994 was R163 million, and of this, R37 million was allocated for clandestine military intelligence gathering, according to a senior military intelligence officer reporting to the Joint Committee on Defence in October 1994.

		A “revolution in intelligence affairs” is needed to prepare the U.S. intelligence community to meet the future challenges of the global war on terrorism and the changing post-Cold War security environment, according to a senior intelligence officer conducting RAND-initiated research.
		The intelligence reform bill recently signed by President Bush will hardly solve all the problems confronting the American intelligence community, but it is a beginning.
		Intelligence and public safety experts anticipate major public threats by "connecting the dots" — recognizing broad patterns from small or unusual signs.

	Asia Times Online :: Southeast Asia news and business from Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam
		JAKARTA - Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono last week ordered the country's governors to revive the Regional Intelligence Coordinating Body (Bakorinda), a network of intelligence offices last used to quell dissent in the Suharto era, amid criticism that Indonesia's intelligence bodies had failed to anticipate terrorist attacks in the country.
		This is the same man who preached to around 6,000 chanting followers crowded in and around a Solo (Surakarta) mosque to show their support for militant cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir prior to his arrest less than a week after the Bali bombings.
		Indonesians now have little doubt that their country has all the ingredients needed to nurture and sustain terrorist "sleepers" who are ready to act given the green light from the paymaster.

		In reality, MI5, or the Security Service, is a vital part of the UK's national and international intelligence gathering network, and although much of their work shares the same level of secrecy as MI6, MI5 has more in common with national and international police forces than a secret crime-fighting agency.
		Intelligence gathering has always been a part of a government's security arrangements, but the modern concept of intelligence gathering only really began in the early years of the 20th century.
		Despite being created to counter German intelligence in 1909, the Secret Service Bureau (as the Security Service was originally called) under the joint command of Captain Vernon Kell from the South Staffordshire Regiment and Captain Mansfield Cumming of the Royal Navy, quickly divided their intelligence gathering duties to cope with demand.

	The Yale Herald - Sep 6, 2002 - Homeland Security dept. only first step
		The legislation concerning the DHS that the Senate is debating this week represents the biggest reorganization of the federal government in a half-century.
		The administration is adamant that the FBI will remain outside the DHS and that the department would "limit its intelligence gathering" and guarantee the autonomy of subordinate agencies.
		While sifting through the volumes of intelligence that are collected every day and determining what is relevant is a daunting task, it is an indispensable one if we hope to make the DHS a success.

		Lisa Fithian, an organizer of D2KLA and the Direct Action Network, said she is concerned that undercover police officers may have contributed to potentially wrongful arrests and possibly to the problems Monday evening, when police used horses and so-called less lethal weapons to disperse the crowd after a free concert by Rage Against the Machine.
		Intelligence officers working in several command posts throughout downtown were assigned to take information from the undercover officers.
		The undercover officers on the street were instructed to pay particular attention not only to gathering information about the protesters' plans but also to evidence of any weapons or hazardous materials in their possession.

		What's more, there were plenty of other intelligence disasters in between — such as the failure to predict the collapse of the Soviet Union, or to detect CIA double agent Aldrich Ames as he sold the crown jewels to the Russians for years until he was finally caught in 1994.
		The entrenched intelligence bureaucracies are notoriously jealous of their turf, and still largely configured to spy on Cold War enemies.

	'Police intelligence in Mumbai is very poor'
		The only way to tackle and penetrate this kind of meticulous terrorist network is to have a local intelligence system, which can track down anything that is happening in the city.
		But the tragedy is that the local intelligence network is totally ineffective in Mumbai and other parts of the country.
		The failure to gather credible, local intelligence is a problem that not only haunts the Mumbai police alone.

	Spy expansion puts Pentagon near CIA's turf \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Overseeing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's drive to broaden the military's clandestine reconnaissance and manhunting missions is Stephen Cambone, the Pentagon's intelligence czar and one of Rumsfeld's most trusted aides, whose low public profile masks his status as one of the nation's most powerful intelligence officials.
		The Pentagon has always been a behemoth in the intelligence world, largely because it controlled agencies like the National Security Agency and National Reconnaissance Office with multibillion-dollar budgets that are responsible for eavesdropping and satellites.
		In a sign of the importance Rumsfeld places on the intelligence czar position, in December he quietly revamped the civilian line succession in the Pentagon hierarchy in the event the secretary and deputy secretary die or are incapacitated.

		Facing a relentless insurgency in Iraq, the CIA has replaced its Baghdad station chief with one of its most experienced officers to oversee the spy agency's largest presence in a foreign country in history.
		The Bush administration has been under heavy fire for what critics say was the poor quality of prewar intelligence on Iraq relating to weapons of mass destruction.
		That was disputed by the intelligence official, who told Reuters: "We're always opening and closing bases depending on the needs, not because of danger, but because where the emphasis can be best employed".

		The US-funded evangelical missions have succeeded in putting in place a loosely tied network of Indian and international evangelical missions that operate with their blessings and support, but which cannot be easily traced directly back to them.
		It is the setting up of this network that facilitated the launch of the Great Commission in India, nearly 2000 years after Jesus challenged His church to make disciples of all nations.
		After setting up such an elaborate network, church groups in India are understandably disappointed over a recent Supreme Court ruling (September 1, 2003) that there was "no fundamental right to convert" someone from one religion to another, and that the government could impose restrictions on conversions.
