Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The production, dissemination, and consumption of intelligence analysis and estimates has long been viewed by practioners, policy makers, and scholars as a highly secret undertaking where debates over the meaning of events and plotting of trends occur out of public view. Because of this intelligence controversies have tended to be after-the-fact affairs focusing on instances of strategic surprise such as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, or the Falkland Islands War, or the 1973 Arab-Israeli War. The recently concluded Iraq War, however, broought to light another dimension of intelligence analysis. Here we saw the public use of intelligence to build a case for action. It is not the first time this has happened. One can look back to the Reagan administration and its attempt to build support for action in Latin America against rebel forces in El Salvador and Nicaragua. In this paper I will examine the phenomenon of public intelligence by reviewing the manner in which intelligence was used by the Bush administration in the lead up to the Iraq War and in earlier periods. The conceptual argument will proceed in three parts. First, it will review the forces that gave rise to the advent of public intelligence in the United States. These are found overwhlemingly in the nature of American domestic politics. Second, it will examine the characteristics of public intelligence. Third, it will look at the consequences of public intelligence for the quality of secret intelligence and the policy making process. I have edited or co-edited two volumes on intelligence both publlished by Frank Cass Ltd. Intelligence Analysis and Assessment,and Controlling Intellligence. I have also authored several articles and book chapters on intelligence. I am the author of an American foreign policy textbook, American Foreign Policy: Past, Present, Future, 5th edition Prentice Hall. I would be happy to serve as chair or discussant on a panel as well and if desired could put together a panel on intelligence.
