Without Ever Leaving His Office. Secrets of the Intelligence Services
Abstract
The equipping of intelligence service advanced computer and electronic facilities has today made it possible to rapidly systematize and digest data holdings and to convert them into an effective indepth analysis base for intelligence forecasting. Acquisition capabilities, include open-literature sources. The use of overt sources releases clandestine personnel for more difficult and responsible assignments whose execution is possible only on an illegal basis and which thus justify the national risk involved. The use by foreign intelligence of open-literature information sources constitutes a grave danger to any government, but no single advanced nation, without detriment to its own progress, can restrict open sources or can renounce scientific and technical publication, book and journal exchange programs, exhibits and expositions, or other forms of intellectual intercourse.
