# 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.

Today, the Atlantic Council Task Force on Georgia, co-chaired by Senators
Jeanne Shaheen and Lindsey Graham, released a major new report on Georgia,
arguing for intensified domestic reform and a new sense of common purpose
and clarity from the United States and Europe to work toward a democratic
Georgia embedded in the institutions of the West.
Georgia faces critical tests at home-parliamentary elections in 2012 and a
presidential contest in 2013-and mounting external pressure as Russia
occupies Abkhazia and South Ossetia and seeks to destabilize Georgia.
Against this background, Georgia must demonstrate its commitment to
further its democracy, and the United States and Europe must redouble
their efforts to support Georgia, including at the May 2012 Chicago NATO
summit. The task force report, Georgia in the West: A Policy Road Map to
Georgia's Euro-Atlantic Future, lays out a series of recommendations to
support those ends.
"We should embrace the vision of a united, democratic Georgia embedded in
the institutions of a Europe that is whole, free, and at peace," stated
Senator Lindsey Graham, co-chair of the task force. "As Georgia deepens
its reforms to consolidate free-market democracy, the West must provide a
credible road map to Euro-Atlantic integration."
"Georgia's future will depend, first and foremost, on its determination to
proceed with domestic reforms that build a strong and vibrant market
economy and a pluralist democracy. By unequivocally embracing the vision
of a Georgia that is integrated into the Euro-Atlantic community, the
United States and Europe can be demanding when it comes to Georgia's
domestic performance, holding Georgia to the high expectations it sets for
itself," stated Senator Jeanne Shaheen, co-chair of the task force.
The report makes recommendations for policymakers in Washington and key
European capitals to strengthen Georgia's ongoing integration into NATO
and the European Union (EU), by offering a clear vision and concrete
intermediate benefits to reward Georgia's progress. It offers
recommendations for the Georgian government and all sectors of Georgian
society to undertake important internal reforms that advance Georgian
democracy and in turn secure Georgia's place in the West. It also lays out
strategies to counter Russia's creeping annexation of the occupied
territories and to solidify an international commitment to Georgia's
territorial integrity over the long-term.
The report advocates that the United States, Europe, and Georgia take the
following measures:
. Maintain democracy support at the core of US and European
assistance: US and European assistance to Georgia should target electoral
reform, support for civil society and free media, political party
development, and parliamentary strengthening.
. Hold Russia accountable for its occupation and protect Georgia's
territorial integrity: The United States should institutionalize declared
policy denying Abkhazia and South Ossetia recognition as independent
states. US and European officials should hold Russia to account for its
legal obligations, while pushing for the internationalization of ethnic
Georgian-populated areas in Abkhazia and South Ossetia and propose a
neutral international security presence in the occupied territories. The
EU should push Russia to allow the EU Monitoring Mission (EUMM) to fulfill
its mandate across the occupation line and invite US participation in the
EUMM.
. Advance Georgia's NATO aspirations: Transatlantic allies should
agree that the NATO-Georgia Commission is Georgia's path to membership and
adopt a package of intensified cooperation at a first-ever NATO-Georgia
summit in Chicago next May. NATO allies should respond to Georgia's
nonuse-of-force pledge by helping Georgia develop defense plans and
purchase defensive arms.
. Support Georgia at the World Trade Organization (WTO): US and
European officials should facilitate an agreement, which could include
international customs monitors on Russia's border with Abkhazia and South
Ossetia, to allow Georgian support for Russia's WTO membership.
. Deliver on the Eastern Partnership (EaP): The EU should
reinforce its stated EaP policy of "more for more," by proposing to
Georgia a road map for visa-free travel, and opening negotiations with
Georgia on a Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement this year.
. Strengthen democratic measures: The Georgian government and
civil society should work together to undertake measures to empower the
parliament, strengthen judicial independence, and ensure that the
electoral reform process apportions electoral districts on the basis of
one person, one vote. The government should deter interference in
opposition financing and introduce direct mayoral elections nationwide.
. Facilitate investments and job creation: Georgia's government
should avail itself of international assistance, including the next
Millennium Challenge Corporation compact, to strengthen its human
resources and tackle unemployment and underemployment. It should make
investments that reinforce its role as an energy-transit country,
strengthen its investment climate by resolving tax disputes quickly, and
facilitate commerce and people-to-people ties across the lines of
occupation.
In the 1990s, most were skeptical that the Baltic countries would one day
be members of NATO and the EU. Yet their performance, and clear US
leadership, transformed the idea of their membership from a radical notion
to a natural outcome. Clarity in Western policy provided the incentives
for painful reforms, while neutralizing Russian objections. Today we can
draw from these lessons.
