Context Statement: A context statement is optional and describes, in greater detail than the<br />
source byline, the circumstances under which the source acquired the intelligence contained<br />
in the report. To the extent possible, it should also address the source’s reporting history<br />
or other pertinent in<strong>for</strong>mation regarding source credibility in a discrete statement. For<br />
example, if a trusted source begins reporting on in<strong>for</strong>mation substantively different than the<br />
sort of in<strong>for</strong>mation the source previously had access to, a report author might use the<br />
following statements:<br />
• CONTEXT: (U) Source claimed firsthand access to the in<strong>for</strong>mation provided in this report.<br />
• CONTEXT: (U) This in<strong>for</strong>mation was obtained through a lengthy chain of acquisition,<br />
and the ultimate subsource cannot be determined.
