CIA and congressional oversight: learning and forgetting lessons / Hastedt, Glenn

Hastedt, Glenn	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Organizations both learn lessons and forget lessons. A lesson said to be learned by the CIA as a result of the negative reaction of congressional overseers to its interrogation program was the need to create opportunities to provide information and interact with them. The historical record shows that this was a lesson already learned. Why then the need to relearn it? It is suggested here that organizational forgetfulness may be triggered by the same factors which promote learning: perceived problems with organizational performance, opportunities to act, and people.

Politics of intelligence and the politicization of intelligence: the American experience / Hastedt, Glenn

Hastedt, Glenn	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Publication

2013.

Summary/Abstract

The relationship between intelligence analysis and policy decisions is a contentious one with both policymakers and intelligence analysts frequently expressing frustration over its underlying dynamics and with each faulting the behavior of the other. This article examines one aspect of this relationship, the manner in which intelligence analysis can become politicized. Rather than view politicization as an aberration it is treated here as a normal feature of intelligence analysis. A typology of politicization organized around the concepts of hard and soft politicization is presented and illustrated with historical examples from the American experience with intelligence analysis.
