ABSTRACT

This chapter examines the Consortium for the Study of Intelligence’s (CSI) further elaboration of a distinctive neoconservative intelligence paradigm during the 1990s, and early 2000s. While the George H.W. Bush and Clinton administrations represented a period of retrenchment for neoconservatives, they would be more strongly represented in the George W. Bush administration of the early 2000s. This would allow thinkers associated with the CSI to apply their ideas on analysis during the campaign for war with Iraq.
