Module 1 – Case
THE HISTORY, ROLE, FUNCTION, AND ORGANIZATION OF THE U.S. INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
Assignment Overview
The Use of Multiple INTs
According to General James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence as of July 2013, the U.S. has relied heavily on the use of SIGINT for the identification and disruption of terrorist plots against the U.S. In a July 2013 interview, he said:
Director Clapper: Well, two cases that come to mind [in which SIGINT disrupted the terrorist plots], which are a little dated, but I think in the interest of this discourse, should be shared with the American people, they both occurred in 2009, one was the aborted plot to bomb the subway in New York City in the fall of 2009.
And this all started with a communication from Pakistan to a U.S. person in Colorado. And that led to the identification of a cell in New York City who was bent on a major explosion, bombing of the New York City subway. And a cell was rolled up and in their apartment we found backpacks with bombs.
A second example, also occurring in 2009, involved one of those involved, the perpetrators of the Mumbai bombing in India, David Headly. And we aborted a plot against a Danish news publisher based on the same kind of information.
So those are two specific cases of uncovering plots through this mechanism that prevented terrorist attacks. (full transcript is available at :

Clearly, the national intelligence capabilities exceed only our SIGINT capabilities.
Case Assignment
In this case, your task is to:
1.Summarize the use and capabilities of 3 other INTs that would have been important in identifying or confirming one of these terrorist threats against the U.S. and allies
2.Explain specific types of information that each of the 3 INTs is capable of collecting.
3.Explain the limitations of each of the INTs what they cannot be expected to reliably collect
4.Summarize the steps needed to analyze information across the INTs.
5.Briefly describe the gap between the collection capabilities of the Intelligence Community and the analysis capabilities, and propose reasons for why the IC has consistently been able to prevent the gap exposing the U.S. to terrorist threats.
6.Properly cite your quotations that you use to support your statements. For more information, please consult the Purdue University OWL: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/
