The Stratfor Glossary of Useful, Baffling and Strange Intelligence Terms
>Every profession and industry has its own vocabulary. Using baseball terms
>to explain a football game is tough. These are some of the terms we use.
>Access
Ability of an agent to get hold of information. Difference between having someone
on the ground and someone who is actually valuable is access. Having someone
on the ground in Washington DC doesn't tell you if he works for the National
Security Council or sells hotdogs on the corner. In intelligence there are three things
that matter: access, access and access. Rule of thumb: anyone who says they have
access doesn't.
>Actionable Intelligence
Intelligence that can be used by the customer to make decisions. As opposed to
metaphysical intelligence valued for the purity of its insight.
>Activate
Bringing a source to life. Sources are rarely continually operational. They are put
to bed and activated depending on evolving missions or deranged hunches
>Active intelligence
Directly developing and operating sources in the field. Requires unique skills.
Normally not carried out by analysts, but by intelligence operators. Don't try this at home kids.
>After Action Debrief
Following a completed op, everyone who had anything to do with it gets debriefed.
This closes out the Ops Crypt and a sanitized version is entered into a Lessons
Learned report and becomes part of the training. In the government, success and
failure are equally unrewarded. At Stratfor, we do it differently.
>After Action Report
The final report on the conclusion of an Op. Intended for internal use only. Never
show the customer. It's like showing someone how sausage is made. Nauseating.
