Defining Homeland Security Intelligence
By Matthew Levitt
Earlier today The Washington Institute's Stein Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence hosted DHS Deputy Undersecretary for intelligence and analysis Todd Rosenblum. In his remarks, Mr. Rosenblum noted that one "particularly disturbing" phenomenon "is the significant increase in al-Qaida and its affiliate’s ability to use operatives that have access and familiarity with the United States." The need to fully integrate homeland security intelligence -- which is in many ways very different from traditional foreign intelligence -- into our overall national security strategy is critical, something stressed in the new National Security Strategy.
The audio and text of Mr. Rosenblum's full comments are available here.
