Behind the Curtain: A Look at Collaboration Across the Intelligence Community

A look at changes in the intelligence community in the ten years since 9-11. June 17, 2011

June 3, 2011 — Following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington, DC on September 11, 2001, attention was focused on ensuring that information sharing and collaboration occurred across the various agencies that comprise the Intelligence Community (IC). As we approach the 10-year anniversary of 9-11, we have had a decade to observe the restructuring of the IC and the implementation of collaboration initiatives. However, questions remain. Has the restructuring increased collaboration? How is intelligence being gathered and used? Who is gathering and analyzing the intelligence? What challenges remain?

Host Debra Roth explores these questions from different perspectives with Mark Lowenthal, President and CEO of The Intelligence and Security Academy, Richard Wilhelm , Executive Vice President of Booz Allen Hamilton, and Jason Collins of the FBI Intelligence Analysts Association.
