ABSTRACT
In October 2005 Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte issued the National Intelligence Strategy of the United States of America. In the forward he recalled that when President George W. Bush signed the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act in 2004 the president put forward the expectation that ‘our vast intelligence enterprise will become more unified, coordinated, and effective.’ Negroponte continued that the new approach to intelligence embodied in this strategy represents: ‘a far-reaching reform of previous intelligence practices and arrangements. National intelligence must be collaborative, penetrating, objective, and far-sighted. . . . The time has come for our domestic and foreign intelligence cultures to grow stronger by growing together.’1
