Description: Compares how policymakers' use of intelligence to support the policymaking process has changed. The intelligence community's Intelink network, the Internet, and web-based sources of analysis have not become major contributors to the policymaking process. Policymakers still find intelligence analysis useful for supporting the policymaking process, especially when it is conveyed through a one-on-one intelligence briefing
