| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Gathering intelligence is a primary tactic enabling policymakers and military strategists to make informed decisions. Intelligence officers use a variety of tactics to gather human intelligence (HUMINT) from a myriad sources. Intelligence acquisition utilizes a complex system that begins with activating resourceful agents and ends with the analysis of gathered information. This multistep system is crucial for strategic decisionmaking and policy implementation. The effort here is to distinguish among the different communicative and psychosocial-based compliance gathering tactics used by intelligence agencies and the skepticism surrounding their validity, while showing how Communication as an academic discipline could benefit from a closer examination of how communication behavior and compliance gaining tactics are used to detect deception. |
