# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I've got a Fox interview @ 0745 Tuesday, but will be back in the office
by 0830.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suggest we remain on topic w/the terrorist surveillance challenges as
outlined in the UK w/the after-action report focusing on these topics:
1) The issue faces surveillance teams in western countries and is not
unique to the UK. Granted the UK may have more jihadis on the loose to
surveil, but the practical (tactical) aspects are consistent from London
to New York to Canberra.
2) 24x7 surveillance of a terrorist suspect is resource intensive
provided you don't want to alert the suspect.
3) Surveillance agents (surveillants, watchers) require unique training
and skill sets which is why the UK and US/FBI have special teams
dedicated to the mission. They can blend quickly, make clothing
changes, cross demographics and use multiple kinds of surveillance
platforms (bikes, cars, vans.)
4) On routine targets (not terrorist manhunts) the surveillance groups
operate as small teams on the street -- usually less then 5 personnel
-- per unit per shift augmented by technology aids (listening devices in
rooms, street cameras, software like TrapWire or bird dog tracklers GPS)
on vehicles). So, do the math. 5 watchers per shift on day work and
evenings with less resources on midnights, provided the target is
buttoned down. (4 terrorists under surveillance = 20 personnel)
5) The tactical details are also inputted into surveillance logs along
with pictures and video. The field unit does a degree of tactical
analysis which goes back to the case agent.
6) The challenges of making sense of the surveillance activities can
also present a tactical analysis failure like we had in the UK with the
inability to connect the dots.
