Journal 6, no 2 (Fall 1997): 23-33.
The "viability of the Intelligence Community will depend on the seamless integration of the separate intelligence organizations and the functional elements within those organizations." One problem area is that "[w]e are, increasingly, upping the pace of current intelligence production and allotting the commensurate level of analytic manpower to meet the requirements of continuous contingencies and crises. At the same time, we have incurred significant reductions in analytic resources as a result of funding cuts over the last five years."

According to government sources, U.S. intelligence officers "helped foil a plot last week by Islamic extremists to bomb the U.S. Embassy in Uganda.... Ugandan authorities alerted by the Central Intelligence Agency have detained 20 suspects in the case, including the two alleged ringleaders.... Those two men are believed to be associates of Islamic extremist Osama bin Laden, who is suspected of orchestrating last month's bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania."
