Notes
1. Thanks to Daniel O'Connor and Pete Gill for instructive comments on this paper.
2. “Intelligence” is information taken from tested sources or protected sites and selectively made available for validation, cross-referencing, analysis and dissemination as knowledge. “Security networks” are arrays comprised of this data (in deposits and circulation) and knowledge (analyzed data), and the links and nodal points (persons and agencies) comprising a relatively closed system. Security or intelligence networks also refer to the structures in which authorized information or knowledge about security is produced and circulated.
3. Such testing is ongoing. Informants, for example, build up a track record through validation of their information. An example of “bad” intelligence practice is allowing information from untested or poorly validated sources to be the foundation of an analysis or widespread dissemination.
4. From conversations with John Deukmedjian.
5. Still, those of us more concerned with the preservation of difference, noise, subordinated opinion, and even irreconcilable knowledges may look forward with some anxiety to intelligence integration as simply the latest disciplining discourse.
