Iyad Alawi, head of the Iraqi National Accord, an umbrella organization he set up in 1991 with the help of the U.S. government, was chosen on 28 May 2004 to be Iraq's "interim prime minister when the Americans transfer sovereignty ... on June 30.... As an exile, a member of the American-appointed Iraqi Governing Council and a longstanding recipient of C.I.A. financing, Dr. Alawi is likely to face sharp challenges to his credibility among the Iraqi people."

If the U.S. government responds to the demands for greater use of open source intelligence (OSINT), "private defense contractors will have to provide more open source intelligence analysis.... Although new and bigger opportunities for companies with unique OSINT capabilities may spike, growth in the outsourced intelligence industry has been rising steadily for some time."

"[R]ebuffed by President Bill Clinton during the last period of extended negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians," supporters of Jonathan Pollard "are [again] ramping up their campaign for a presidential pardon." Throughout President Bush's visit to Israel last week, Pollard "was on the unofficial agenda." Israel is certain "to raise the issue again during the ongoing U.S.-brokered peace talks with the Palestinians, [and] Pollard's supporters and some outside analysts say circumstances may favor a compromise."

Halabi, an Air Force senior airman who had served as an interpreter..., pleaded guilty to four lesser crimes. Army Capt. James Yee, a Muslim chaplain,... was found guilty only of minor administrative charges of adultery and storing pornography on a government computer. And in September, the Army dropped charges against Reserve Col. Jackie Duane Farr, an intelligence officer who was accused of trying to remove classified documents."

[https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol51no2/a-retrospective-on-counterinsurgency-operations.html]
The author offers "a snapshot in time and place," which "represents a picture of the way one important and highly effective aspect of Phoenix worked in the years immediately after the 1968 Tet offensive. It is the story of a single operational unit that was part of the larger, country-wide action element of the Phoenix program -- the Provincial Reconnaissance Units (PRUs)."
