Strife Policy Papers: Volume 1, Issue 1 (June 2022) – Perils in Plain Sight

June 27, 2022 by Bryan Strawser

We’re excited to announce the publication of our first Strife Policy Paper – a contribution from SPP Founding Editor Michael S. Smith II.

In Volume 1, Issue 1 (June 2022), titled Perils in Plain Sight: A view to what’s been done and undone since 2005, and might be coming next in the saga of efforts to ensure OSINT is not underutilized in the management of U.S. national security, Smith reviews the fate of intelligence reforms following 9/11 that aimed to ensure open source intelligence (OSINT) would not be an underutilized resource in the management of U.S. National Security.
