註釋
During the decades of the cold war U.S. science and technology (S & T) indisputably led the world and served as an essential enabler for the intelligence and military forces required to support our strategy of deterrence and containment. The world has changed significantly since then: deterrence and containment are tangential to the problems posed by terrorism and radical Islam, but intelligence and the other instruments of national power have not yet found the right alternative. The effort reported here focuses on one piece of this complex issue: the impact on the Intelligence Community of the new global S & T landscape. Much of what we recommend involves change, but change implies risk. More than ever in the past, pervasive risk aversion severely hobbles innovation in the Intelligence Community. The dramatic change in the nature of the threat and the potential adversaries we face compounds this problem to critical levels. Unless the Intelligence Community leadership can break through and create a realistic risk management approach to such issues as increasing direct analyst involvement in the most important areas of private sector S & T expertise, the Intelligence Community will have wasted its efforts. Leadership is the answer, and that leadership, that permission to take measured risk, must come from the Director of National Intelligence (DNI).
