Noble, Dennis L. "Operations in Another Time: A US Naval Intelligence Mission to China in the 1930s." Studies in Intelligence 50, no. 2 (2006): 27-32.
The focus here is the intelligence operation undertaken from 1935 to 1936 by Maj. (later, Maj. Gen.) William A. Worton, USMC. "His mission was to recruit and run agents from Shanghai into Japan for the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI)." Commander Ellis M. Zacharias was his immediate superior and all orders were verbal. He traveled to China under cover "as a disgruntled officer leaving the Corps to establish a business in the International Settlement in Shanghai."

Nolan, Cynthia M. "Seymour Hersh's Impact on the CIA."
International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 12,
no. 1 (Spring 1999): 18-34.
In assessing the impact of Hersh's series of articles in the New York Times, beginning on 22 December 1974, the author concludes that "[e]ven if Hersh had not published the story of domestic abuses by the CIA, it seems likely that congressional oversight may have occurred in some format..., but perhaps not as soon.... The information provided by Hersh may have pushed congressmen to move, but it did not move them or the public in a new direction."

Text of an address given by William M. Nolte, Acting Assistant Director of Central Intelligence for Analysis, at the Joint Military Intelligence College (JMIC) Foundation luncheon, Mount Vernon, Virginia, 24 March 2005.
"Our changes over the next decade or so will be, in many cases, iterative and incremental, as we react to the environment around us."

Nolte, William. "Keeping Pace with the Revolution in Military Affairs: Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Challenge to Intelligence." Studies in Intelligence 48, no. 1 (2004): 1-10.
Building on the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), Operation Iraqi Freedom was an "organizational and operation success, enabled by technology.... The US Department of Defense and the military services ... demonstrated an extraordinary ability to function in ways that should lead to a significant rethinking of many stereotypes." Other components of U.S. national security, including intelligence, either "must develop apace with the RMA" or "suffer the risk" that they "will be unable to contribute to -- or even compete with -- defense organizations in the making of national security decisions."

"Before we choose to abandon ... the office of the Director of Central Intelligence,... we should at least explore options to strengthen and preserve it. This article will focus on suggestions for correcting two related deficiencies in the intelligence establishment, the absence of an effective internal assessment mechanism in service of the DCI and the absence of an equivalent to the US military's 'combatant command' structure, which has proven invaluable to the defense establishment over the past half-century."

With no pun intended, this is a well done "think piece." One thought among many: "The better integration of open source information and expertise..., information sharing, and a fundamental review of security practices represent an iron triangle of intelligence reform and reconceptualization."

The author argues that "the European Union should establish [a] ... permanent European Union Intelligence Service" (EUIS). It "should initially be small in size, and be primarily a gathering point for information coming from the national intelligence organizations of the EU member-states."

From abstract: "This article points out the new responsibilities that the Greek Intelligence Service (NIS-EYP) had to shoulder in the last decade because of the current reform strategy which introduced several fundamental innovations. It also concentrates on the development of post-9/11 Cold War challenges and how NIS-EYP could respond to the new threats in the coming decades."

"Throughout the first phase of domestic terrorism [1974-1989], the ... Greek elites" failed "to acknowledge the seriousness ... of the terroist threat and the need to tackle it drastically." The assassination in September 1989 of the first Greek politician to be killed by the 17 November group "marked the end of the tolerance of terrorism by both the political establishment and the general public." After 1999, with the Olympic Games 2004 scheduled for Athens, the Greek government began to demonstrate "a dedication and ... sense of urgancy to deal with the terrorist threat."
