Travers argues that information sharing in general has improved significantly since the attacks of 9/11. He proceeds to deconstruct many popular arguments made by others claiming that intelligence gathering and information sharing, as practiced by entities in the United States today, are flawed. He also discusses legal, policy-based, and regulatory obstacles that impair reasonable intelligence and information collection and processing.

After reading this piece, complete the following:

  • Define (that is, "operationalize") the concepts of intelligence versus information.
  • Do differences in these terms matter?
  • How might either be easier—or more difficult—to share with other agencies?
    • Also consider if some levels of government or sectors of society might be more or less amenable to sharing information. (For example, private sector entities that own and operate critical infrastructure upon which the nation or communities rely might hesitate to share proprietary information that makes them less competitive, economically. Is their reluctance reasonable?)
  • Research, summarize, critically evaluate, and report at least 3 of the significant information-sharing problems and challenges (and key agencies) reported in the 9/11 Commission Report.
    • For each of these challenges, use or dispute at least 2 of Travers’ main arguments that he makes in his paper to explain or justify these challenges.
  • Make certain to connect Travers’ arguments to the report’s challenges that you select.

INFORMATION AND INTELLIGENCE SHARING
The concepts of intelligence versus information
Information is simply data organized in given order. It can be anything: a name, a
place, numbers etc. Information can be given by anyone. For example, law enforcement
might want to know the whereabouts of a potential suspect and to do so they may ask around
where he lives, how often he comes home, what he does etc. Intelligence on the other hand is
a more complex subject and it includes getting and using specific information for a specific
objective. It goes beyond just getting the information flowing but more about analysing the
information to suit a certain course.
Intelligence gathering requires special skills. For example, common people may not
be able to provide intelligence. All they give is information. On the other hand the CIA can
provide intelligence. They have specific skills that enable them to gather specific information
to use in making decisions. They know what to look for and how to do about it. They also
know how to connect dots and make useful inferences that aid in investigations.
Intelligence is basically highly valuable information gathered systematically and
analysed by experts. Th...
