Abstract

Th e attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, illustrated the immediate need to update U.S. intelligence processes. It has been argued that if a single unit had been able to assemble the pieces of this complicated and constantly expanding puzzle together, the current war on terrorism would be more successful. One of the biggest obstacles has been the diff erent missions between intelligence offi cials and law enforcement. As a result, the Global Intelligence Working Group draft ed the National Criminal Intelligence Sharing Plan. Th is plan was made to better foster intelligence sharing between local, state, and federal offi cials. Th e group made 28 recommendations and they appear to represent a good plan but can it be actually used as a useful tool that works? Several other pieces of legislation have also been passed and will be discussed. Th e major thesis of this chapter is that not nearly enough has been done and this raises the risks of another successful hostile attack.
