By investigating the institutionalization of open source, this book exposes the inner workings of the U.S. intelligence bureaucracy: its organizational assumptions, imperatives, and turf wars. This book provides case studies of institutional change within settings where the stakes for officials, policy makers, and citizens are extraordinarily high. Intelligence stakeholders confront a complex environment characterized by risk, urgency, competing priorities, changing assumptions, and new and unfamiliar open source technologies and practices, yet there has been little discussion of how these conditions influence the production of intelligence or relate to the deliberative principles of a democratic society. By investigating how open source laws, policies, and practices are developed, maintained, or transformed, this book enhances public understanding of contemporary U.S. intelligence and national security affairs. The book was written for students and researchers in the fields of communication, intelligence studies, public administration, political science, and security studies, and provides an example of scholarship conducted at the intersection of communication, organization, and intelligence studies

The Associated Press (AP) reported on 8 November 2005 that, as part of post-11 September 2001 (9/11) United States intelligence reform efforts, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) had established the Open Source Center (OSC). Then-Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), former Florida congressman Porter Goss, described the OSC as a "major strategic initiative and commitment to the value we place on openly available information".

While the role of intelligence is to reduce uncertainty for decision-makers, a role of intelligence scholarship is to highlight uncertainty, that is, open up possibilities for ethical reflection and deliberation that conventional wisdom, institutional inertia, and mainstream research have closed off. Along these lines, this essay argues for the development and use of rhetorical and critical/cultural perspectives within the field of Intelligence Studies. It describes what rhetorical and critical/cultural research entails and explains how associated perspectives benefit the field. Adapted from the source document.
