This article is a brief summation of Hannibal's campaign in Italy leading up to the Battle of Cannae (216 B.C.). Although the author notes that "Hannibal greatly valued intelligence" and "established an elaborate spy network throughout Italy," Hannibal's use of intelligence is not integrated into the discussion.

For Cohen, I&NS 3.4, the author "makes a valuable contribution not only to the history of special forces in the Second World War, but to the study of special forces more generally." The focus is on the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG), but the work also gives details on the activities of the Special Air Service (SAS). The reviewer finds the book to be "clearly written and well researched, although it confines itself primarily to British sources."

Gorman, Siobhan. "Chief of NSA Urges 'Action': Alexander Wants New Approach, to Fix Systemic Woes." Baltimore Sun, 10 Mar. 2007. [http://www.baltimoresun.com]

An internal memorandum on 21 February 2007 by NSA's director, Lt. Gen. Keith B. Alexander, says "the agency must totally rethink its approach to spying and fix 'systemic problems' identified" after the 9/11 attacks. According to the memo, the problems facing NSA "include obtaining enough electric power to run the high-tech networks at its Fort Meade headquarters, fixing an ailing computer infrastructure, and overcoming difficulties in building a system to uncover threat information in the vast volume of data that the NSA captures every day."

"The number of reported attempts to penetrate Pentagon computer networks rose sharply in the past decade.... At the same time, the nation's ability to safeguard sensitive data in those and other government computer systems is becoming obsolete as efforts to make improvements have faltered and stalled. A National Security Agency program [Key Management Infrastructure] to protect secrets at the Defense Department and intelligence and other agencies is seven years behind schedule,... according to intelligence officials and unclassified internal NSA documents obtained by The Sun."

According to current and former government officials, James R. Clapper Jr. [LTGEN/USAF (Ret.)] will step down as director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) on 13 June 2006. His departure comes "[a]fter clashing with Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld ... over Clapper's testimony to Congress in 2004. The NGA director testified that it would not harm his agency's work if the NGA was removed from the full control of the Pentagon."

The thesis here is that Britain and the United States coordinated their policies with regard to Syria in this time frame, and that collaboration was broken by the Suez crisis, not by competition between the two countries.
