Studies in Intelligence. Volume 52, Number 2, 2008

Abstract

The Center for the Study of Intelligence (CSI) was founded in 1974 in response to Director of Central Intelligence James Schlesinger's desire to create within CIA an organization that could "think through the functions of intelligence and bring the best intellects available to bear on intelligence problems." The center, comprising professional historians and experienced practitioners, attempts to document lessons learned from past activities, to explore the needs and expectations of intelligence consumers, and to stimulate serious debate about current and future intelligence challenges. To carry out this mission, CSI publishes Studies in Intelligence, as well as numerous books and monographs addressing historical, operational, doctrinal and theoretical aspects of the intelligence profession. It also administers the CIA Museum and maintains the Agency's Historical Intelligence Collection. This journal issue contains the following articles: Language, Culture, and Cooperation in Scientific and Technical Intelligence; Needed: A National Security Simulation Center; Thinking About Rethinking: Reform in Other Professions; The Strange Case of John Honeyman and Revolutionary War Espionage; Commemoration of the Historical, Inspiration for the Future, and an Intelligence Role for the Footnote: For and Against. Also several book reviews are included.
