This course analyzes the critical intelligence challenges facing the Nation through the perspective of the CIA's history.

The course will evaluate the harm caused to the CIA by recent security disclosures. Finally, the course will estimate the CIA’s success in meeting the challenges of the post-9/11 environment, especially as they relate to the expanding War on Terrorism and Homeland Security requirements.
