Steele’s last word on OSINT—not just MIA, but KIA.
With excellent editing and inputs from those who actually know something about OSINT, the link dated 24 June 2008 is Steele’s last word on IC OSINT—an epitaph for the pig’s lipstick.
The UK Conference taking place in London will be the logical hand-off on OSINT to a truly multinational and non-intelligence community of interest that will initially be led by NATO, but we hope to see the UN, Africa Command, and all civil affairs elements of every Nation, come together. Public Intelligence will be outside the wire and under Civil AffAirs proponency. OSINT will be inside the wire and under J-2 proponency. The key is that the Public Intelligence outside the wire STAYS outside the wire, and can be shared and made sense of multinationally.
The conference link is at the first link dated 2008-03-12.
The keynote abstract is at the second link dated 2008-03-12.
