According to French sources, France "upgraded signals intelligence last year," investing substantially in satellite technology for its listening stations. "Now secret service elements are using it to tap into commercial secrets. At least eight centres, scattered across France, are being 'aimed' at British defence firms, petroleum companies and other commercial targets."

"MI5 is to be forced to open many of its secret files to the public for the first time....

"SAS troops in Afghanistan have been fired upon by Taliban soldiers.... Nobody was hurt, military sources said, adding that the gunfire had been 'more symbolic than directed'. They suggested that the small SAS team had 'spooked' Taliban soldiers near Kabul, who had fired indiscriminately before fleeing.... SAS troopers, together with members of MI6 and the CIA, are working with the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance in the search for Osama Bin Laden."

Clark, Keith. "Notes on Estimating." Studies in Intelligence 11, no. 3 (Summer 1967): 55-64

The author notes that he has "drafted, chaired. or otherwise participated in many of the National Estimates." Here, he seeks "to identify, primarily from the ONE viewpoint, some recurrent dilemmas and common pitfalls in producing estimates, to note different ways of coping with these, and to suggest some main sources of strength or weakness, as well as some avoidable wastes of time and effort."

Clark, Keith. "On Warning." Studies in Intelligence 9, no. 1 (Winter 1965): 15-31.

The author suggests that the "criteria of likelihood and importance for determining whether, how, and to whom to give eraly warning" should be "supplemented by a third, that of imminence, which is most relevant to the choice of when to warn." (emphasis in original)

For Wirtz, IJI&C 18.4 (Winter 2005-2006), the author "has written a wonderfully concise handbook for intelligence analysts." This work is "not for the novice," but "is of great interest to scholars because it describes both the strengths and limitations of the wide variety of analytic techniques used to understand and predict social, military, and political phenomena."

Kramer, AIJ 25.1 (Summer 2007), finds that in the second edition "[s]ome chapters have been rewritten"; "[t]here are also several new sections [and] chapters"; and "[t]he concluding chapter ... is also new." To Peake, Studies 52.1 (Mar. 2008) and Intelligencer 16.1 (Spring 2008), this work "is a fine treatment of contemporary analytic tradecraft that makes clear why the analyst has one of the toughest jobs in the profession."

Modern S&T intelligence began when R.V. Jones was assigned to the Intelligence Branch of the British Air Staff. It was also Jones who laid down "the cardinal principle of scientific intelligence": that is Occam's Razor -- "Use the least number of hypotheses to explain your observations." The author offers some further maxims for S&T intelligence: "Suspect all crusaders," "experts can be wrong," "never trust a contractor," and "look at the whole picture."
