A Panel Discussion

"Preserving Intelligence Integrity in a Dangerous World"

Intelligence must be credible to make an important and effective impact in supporting national security policy and operations. Preserving the integrity of intelligence processes, activities, and the officers who conduct them is essential to establishing and maintaining that credibility and is the focus of this discussion.  

Distinguished former senior government officials will draw from their broad experiences in intelligence, law enforcement, and policy positions inside and outside the intelligence community.  Their insights will highlight factors that enhance or undermine the credibility, effectiveness, and impact of intelligence for national security decision-makers.  Panelists will share their thoughts on objectivity, "speaking truth to power," avoiding "group think," and the challenges of "bringing bad news." 

Panelists will highlight some of the lessons learned and improvements instituted in the aftermath of the 9/11, Iraq WMD, and intelligence community reform to further the goal of the National Security Act to provide intelligence that is "timely, objective, independent of political considerations, and based upon all sources available." They also will share their views on what more they think needs to be done to enhance the effectiveness and impact of intelligence.
