Book review: Why Intelligence Fails – WSJ.com

When we hear the sound of hoofbeats, should we think horses or zebras? The question is a classic problem of intelligence analysis. Too often in recent years the CIA, FBI and Department of Homeland Security have got it wrong—most recently with the Christmas Day underwear bomber, who was able to board a U.S.-bound flight despite [...]

Mosab Hassan Yousef: The Hamas prince who was spy for Israel – NY Daily News

He was Israel's most valuable spy inside Hamas – and certainly the most unlikely.

Andy McCarthy: While You Are Distracted by the Summit, Obama Democrats Are Targeting the CIA – National Review Online

The Obama Democrats have outdone themselves. While the country and the Congress have their eyes on today’s dog-and-pony show on socialized medicine, House Democrats last night stashed a new provision in the intelligence bill which is to be voted on today.
