02.17.06 | 1 min read | Text by Steven Aftergood

Efforts by the Department of Homeland Security to assert itself as a viable member of the U.S. intelligence community have yielded a new strategic plan for homeland security intelligence and a management directive organizing the Department’s intelligence activity.

The new strategic plan is a handsome document, but largely devoid of significant content.

See “DHS Intelligence Enterprise Strategic Plan,” January 2006 (3.3 MB PDF file).

And see “Intelligence Integration and Management,” DHS Management Directive 8110, January 30, 2006.

Relatedly, “DHS Has Not Implemented an Information Security Program for Its Intelligence Systems,” according to the title of a new DHS Inspector General report (flagged by BeSpacific.com).
