DOD EXAMINES "PREEMPTIVE" INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS
One way to invigorate U.S. intelligence would be to "Develop an entirely new capability to proactively, preemptively evoke responses from adversary/terrorist groups," according to the Defense Science Board, a Pentagon advisory group.
Such an approach would "improve [intelligence] information collection by stimulating reactions" from the target.
One hundred "highly specialized people with unique technical and intelligence skills such as information operations, PSYOP, network attack, covert activities, SIGINT, HUMINT, SOF, influence warfare/deception operations" could constitute a new, elite "Proactive Preemptive Operations Group (P2OG)," reporting to the National Security Council with an annual budget of $100 million.
The proposal is the latest sign of a new assertiveness by the Defense Department in intelligence matters, and an indication that the cutting edge of intelligence reform is not to be found in Congress but behind closed doors in the Pentagon.
The Defense Science Board recommended creation of the preemptive operations group in its "DSB Summer Study on Special Operations and Joint Forces in Support of Countering Terrorism."
The findings and recommendations of the DSB Summer Study were set forth in an August 16, 2002, PowerPoint briefing. The first thirty pages of the unclassified 78 page PointPoint presentation are posted here:

The DSB briefing was first reported by Dan Dupont in Inside the Pentagon on September 26. It was also discussed by William M. Arkin in the Los Angeles Times on October 27.
Opnieuw een bevestiging dat er geheime operaties plaats vinden op basis van uitlokking van zogenaamde terroristengroeperingen.
Dit plaatst de oorlog tegen het terrorisme is een compleet ander daglicht. Een aanslag op een moskee kan bijvoorbeeld het werk zijn van een dergelijke black-ops operatie om een reactie uit te lokken van mensen die al getypeerd zijn als terroristen maar in principe nog niets fout hebben gedaan. Het past precies in de strategie die is uitgestippeld door Lewis als eerste en Huntington na hem.
