| Summary/Abstract |
Lawyers focus on the regulation and control of activities. Intelligence was previously regarded as something that was on, or even beyond, the boundaries of what should be regulated and controlled by means of the law. If statutory law (i.e., acts passed by parliament) governed intelligence agencies at all, then the provisions tended to be in very general terms, leaving considerable interpretative scope to the agencies themselves (or, at least their taskmasters, the relevant government departments).

| Summary/Abstract |
Intelligence agencies long have brought unwelcome news to civilian political and military masters – and sometimes suffered severely for it. Even in Western democracies, insecurities and outright fear produce behavioral responses by individuals and defensive institutional reactions that distort normal intelligence activities and affect the overall performance of intelligence agencies. Causes of fear include: political leaders, overseers, agency managers, and the security elements of their organizations. This article highlights the importance of institutional factors, especially organizational cultures and incentives, on the activities and overall performance of intelligence agencies and suggests that motivated biases, caused by personal and organizational self-interest and fears, are more significant causes of intelligence failures than are commonly believed.

| Summary/Abstract |
To enhance contemporary intelligence, more thinking should be aimed at turning research and knowledge into use. 1 The principle is that research work and its knowledge can readily be turned into a more purposeful and relevant contribution to overall intelligence activities. In both qualitative and quantitative terms, that research-originating contribution can be better applied in overarching "all-source" intelligence efforts.

| Summary/Abstract |
Over tha last five years, cases of ethnic Chinese and Aemricans charged and/or convicted for having transmitted, or conspired to transmit, sensitive technologies, proprietary information, or government information to the People's Republic of China (China) have made headlines on a regular basis in the United States. This is no coincidence. PRC intelligence activities against the U.S. are judged by government officials and experts to be very aggressive, and at a level matching that the Cold War.

| Summary/Abstract |
Congressional monitoring of intelligence activities has always been somewhat controversial, but its roots go back to the founding era of the United States, when the new Constitution gave both the President and Congress important roles in foreign affairs.
