Week Four – Discussion One: Open Source Intelligence
Clark (2013, p. 93) characterizes open source intelligence in the following passage:
“Open source material is perhaps the most valuable source of intelligence, and is typically the most easily overlooked by government intelligence organizations in favor of classified information. Its chief value is that it is relatively easy to obtain.”Review the information in Chapter 11 of your text book (Open Source Information and Intelligence: a Perspective for State, Local, and Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies) of the book and render an opinion as to the validity Clark’s statement. Support your opinion with a discussion of the strengths, weaknesses, risks, and benefits to using open source intelligence. Finally, pick one source or type of open source that you believed would be most beneficial for strategic intelligence analysis (as the term is applied to focusing on criminal activity).
