One Response to “Intelligence Failure”
Great post. I think that the “red team� approach is a good idea, but even with the best intelligence this area is still one of trying to figure out if you have real information or are being deceived. Remember that Stalin had the exact date and time of the German attack and did not believe it, he felt that Britain was trying to draw him into the war with false information. We were not the first to be deceived, and won’t be the last.
