# 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.

** From a senior agent at DHS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For your consumption only: it is a combination of inadequate leadership, lack of expertise, extreme politics and lousy procedures/equipment coupled with a forced rush to do something/anything yesterday, no matter how ineffective.
Another issue is that DHS in general has too many contractors whose first interest is furthering their company's interests, and many of these folks couldn't find their bottoms with both hands and a mirror. Unfortunately, the few direct hire staff end up overwhelmed by their contractor majority staffs.
Contractor footnote: have observed that the contractors are extremely adept at showing up at meetings in large numbers, eating the donuts and drinking the beverages without contributing anything more than body count.
Director told me that he has difficulties with all of the academic types who have jumped onto the counterterrorism bandwagon. They do some things very well, no question, but many times they are untimely (ever look at UofM's START terrorism database?) and don't answer the "so what" question; sortta like ending up with everything you ever want to know about something that is irrelevant. Or, as we used to say: some of the national labs are marketing solutions for problems that we didn't have = "so what."
Sounds jaundiced and there are surely some well meaning TSA folks out there somewhere, but my assessment is that they are in the minority. Just wait until DHS moves 14,000 employees to the old St. Elizabeth Hospital site in SE Washington, and then maybe they will learn some real transportation security methodology.
