To one and all:

This email is to introduce you to a new book, a new author, and two reviews
of the new book:
No More Secrets: Open Source Information and the Reshaping of U.S.
Intelligence <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0313391556/ossnet-20>

Hamilton Bean surprised the hell out of me.  Based on his earlier article in
the International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, and my
riposte that had the benefit of being reviewed in draft by Bill Studeman and
Joe Markowitz, I was expecting the book to be "Doug Naquin's Excellent
Adventure.

2007 IJIC 20/2 The DNI’s Open Source
Center<http://www.phibetaiota.net/2007/07/2007-ijic-202-the-dnis-open-source-center/>

2008 IJIC 21/3 The Open Source Program: Missing in
Action<http://www.phibetaiota.net/2008/09/2603/>

Not so at all.  This is an extraordinary contribution, and both Retired
Reader (Richard Wright retired from NSA) and I have posted reviews.

I commend the book to your attention for purchase and sharing with others,
and the two reviews for a distillation of why this book matters.  I have
also posted an updated reference to the Open Source Agency.  I am in the
process of getting three people with direct access to Hillary Clinton to
present the idea to her, assured that OMB has pre-approved it and that it
will dramatically enhance decision-making in Washington.  I am also taking
steps to suggest hearings and the Smart Nation Act for introduction in the
House of Representatives where Congressman Rob Simmons (R-CT-02) did all the
heavy lifting when he was there and the true champion of opne source
intelligence.

Reference: Open Source Agency
(OSA)<http://www.phibetaiota.net/2011/07/reference-open-source-agency-osa-part-ii/>

Round Two Begins now.  I shamelessly solicit your votes at Amazon for the
two reviews, Richard's is vastly more elegant and strategic, for the public,
mine is more specific and for the professionals who care about this subject.

Semper Fidelis,
Robert
