The Role of Intelligence - Questions to ask if such is proper Jurisdiction to Test Covert Acts

With the end of the Cold War and the reduced need to focus on the
former Soviet Union, many observers believed that the Intelligence
Community was looking for new missions to justify its existence. The
Commission found, to the contrary, that the core missions of U.S.
intelligence have remained relatively constant. There has been a
substantial shift in intelligence requirements and priorities away
from Cold War targets, but the missions intelligence agencies are
expected to perform have not changed dramatically with the end of the
Cold War.
This is not to suggest that the functions and missions of intelligence
should not, or will not, change. Each administration should set the
guidelines for intelligence activities and, within these guidelines,
establish in a timely fashion specific requirements and priorities for
the conduct of those activities. These will fluctuate according to the
world situation, the availability of resources, and the needs of the
Government. Such fluctuations make it essential that senior
policymakers devote frequent, if not constant, attentionto updating
the priorities and collection capabilities that will ensure that the
United States retains a strong national security posture.
U.S. intelligence has two broad functions-collection and analysis-and
one relatively narrow one, covert action. An additional
function-counterintelligence-is integral to the entire intelligence
process. While the need for collection and analysis is generally
understood and accepted, there is less acceptance of covert action
asan appropriate intelligence function and less understanding of the
critical importance of counterintelligence.
Collection, as a function of intelligence, appears straightforward,
and its necessity is not seriously challenged. Throughvarious means,
intelligence agencies collect information about foreign persons,
places, events, and activities that is needed by the U.S. Government
but cannot be (or is not easily) obtained through publicly available
sources or diplomatic contacts.
Do intelligence agencies "collect" publicly available information as
well? Do intelligence agencies attempt to collect information to meet
the needs of any Government official? Does anyone confirm that the
need exists, i.e. that the information is not otherwise available to
the Government, or thatthe need, if it does exist, justifies using
expensive and/or risky intelligence capabilities to obtain it? What if
intelligence officials know in advance that what they cancollect will
be of marginal value compared to what can be obtained from public
sources? Do they still attempt to collect it? What if the information
being sought pertains to a friendly or allied foreign government? Do
intelligence agencies undertake collection activities regardless of
their potential political cost?
Answer each and every question and if not able to develope a answer
then a Test of Covert is a illegal violation of rights of privacy.
