ABSTRACT
The change in targets for intelligence is dramatic. To be sure, for all the emphasis on terrorists and other non-state (or transnational) targets, the change is not absolute. Intelligence dealt with non-states before, and nation-states, like North Korea. Iran or China still will loom large in the work of US intelligence. While some of those state targets, like North Korea, are familiar in the sense that they resemble the secretive Soviet Union, others present different and unfamiliar – if not entirely new – challenges.
