a manner that ensures the listener truly understands the message is essential. Healso exposes the serious issue that while very substantial resources have beeninvested in the IC’s information infrastructure, relatively little has been spent ontools to enhance the individual analyst’s cognitive performance—especiallyamong all-source analysts, or to effectively support endemic work practices suchas “shoeboxes.”xi
ADDITIONAL COMMENTARIES:Warning Analysis For The Information Age:Rethinking The Intelligence ProcessDr. Norman Kahn*Dr. Bodnar’s work identifies and integrates a number of elements critical to theIntelligence Community’s understanding of efforts on the part of both state andnon-state actors to develop weapons of mass destruction. Specifically, he identifieshuman sources, signals intelligence, and open-source exploitation as key factors;and he develops a potent argument for integrating information on people,places and programs and making this information available to the intelligenceanalyst in the form of automated relational databases. This approach, which hedefines as “multidimensional analysis,” is already in use by savvy analysts. Itswidespread acceptance clearly will enhance the Community’s ability to providedeeper and more sophisticated input to policymakers who bear the ultimateresponsibility of responding to national security threats.F. J. Hughes**We are indeed at the threshold of a paradigm shift in intelligence analysis. Theresearch work of the Advanced Research Development Activity (ARDA), anIntelligence-Community-wide effort, is seeking to define how we should advanceour strategies, operational concepts, and organizations in a fashion correspondingto Dr. Bodnar’s vision. ARDA brings a potent dynamic into play that focuses onDiscovery, Exploitation, and Analysis of intelligence information. Bodnar is aharbinger of a powerful shift in thinking that can shape the future of intelligencein a world that has changed dramatically. His work represents a significant stepforward in intelligence studies and serves as an invaluable reference for tomorrow’sintelligence analysts who confront the task of implementing complex judgmentalanalysis.*Program Manager, Bio-Defense Programs, Intelligence Technology Innovation Center.**Faculty Member, Joint Military Intelligence College.xiii
