It is hoped that you, the students, will go away with a better understanding of what constitutes national security policy and how it is used and serves the foreign and defense policy needs of our country. The intelligence community collects and analyzes the information necessary to establish national security policy, therefore, our emphasis of study will be in this area. My task is to lead and guide the discussion and help you learn as much as possible about national security policy, process and issues. Your task is to do the readings, write the papers, and participated in the class discussions. Courtesy is every person's right.
Reasonable people can disagree.
Discussion and debate are the first of many anvils upon which truth is tested. Temper should be in the steel and not in the heart, and never in the mouth. Argue the facts of the situation and not the emotional position. A sense of humor is appreciated. Classes Offered Comments on this site are mailed to the Webmaster.
