Please engage with at least one question, or feel free to make up your own question and respond to it:
1. What was the most surprising thing you read about for class this week? Why?
2. The central finding of this chapter is that the practices that make individual intelligence agencies strong are exactly what makes collaboration with other agencies different. Based on what you've read, can you think of any ways to try to make collaboration easier or more palatable for the officers? (I'm not asking you to fix the intelligence community here! I just want to see how you are thinking through the organizational patterns we've read about.)
3. Read and respond to this current events news item about the intelligence community, coronavirus, taskings, interactions between intelligence officers and policymakers, and other things we've talked about in class:
