Public Intelligence

Throughout this week and the next, we will be publishing a large number of reports from the Director of National Intelligence Open Source Center on a variety of topics.  Rather than present all of the documents at once, we have decided to publish approximately five to ten reports a day in separate entries on the site.  It is our belief that this will enable better scrutiny of the documents, as opposed to overwhelming readers with a large mass of information.  Though the majority of these reports are marked For Official Use Only, all products of the Open Source Center, including Unclassified documents, are inaccessible to the general public.  One of the only sources to release these reports in the past has been Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists.  Due to the limited number currently available, we estimate that our publication of this material will more than triple the amount of Open Source Center products available to the public.

The reports will be indexed by date below as they are published.
