Subject: Re: Intelligence work?
There was a great panel presentation at ASIS&T about ten years ago featuring information scientists who had been in covert intelligence during WWII. Some were British and some US. Some were military and some were CIA or similar orgs. Two were even wearing "the old tie". It was interesting and exciting. I have my notes filed away somewhere. (I remember wishing that Wilf Lancaster - CIA I think - had been there, but he had retired from ASIS by then.)
I believe that many developments we take for granted now had their origin far away from the public light of peer review and publication.

George- I was really looking for folks who had some time as an intel type- several folks have come popping out of the woodwork. Come to ALISE in Seattle and, I hope and referees willing, listen to the show.

Depends on what part. As a Naval officer I was a communications officer for one tour, which meant that I had to attend a Naval communications school that included cryptology and other intelligence related areas.

Anybody out there besides me and Brooke Shannon spent any time in intelligence work? Armed forces, CIA, whatever?
