That's what counterintelligence has done--been there and done that.

 

Counterintelligence, which is essentially to Identify, Penetrate and Neutralize any person or group seeking to harm the United States, was used successfully to win the Cold War against Soviet Communism and its ideology. It was a long, global fight with many good and bad lessons learned along the way, as well as skills and techniques perfected over the years.

 

We've already learned from the Cold War what we need to fight in this new war. This kind of hard-earned counterintelligence experience protected this country against spies and foreign intelligence services. This SAME counterintelligence knowledge can be used to protect this country against terrorists and terror groups.

 

It is no surprise, then, that counterterrorism is actually a subset under counterintelligence according to the Intelligence Authorization Act and Executive Order 12333. You use the SAME proven counterintelligence techniques, tools, tactics and strategies to counter terrorist groups and acts of terrorism. Been there, done that.

 

The CI Centre is the nation's premier counterintelligence training and education company. Its highly-rated courses and professors are a repository of all these years of counterintelligence experience, knowledge and techniques--from many sides, not just American.

 

We teach counterintelligence, counterespionage and double agentry history, cases, skills and techniques because we don't want your organization to have to re-invent the wheel.

 

In every case we teach, the SAME lessons learned can be used and applied today against terrorists (and of course spies). You don't have to figure how to do things all over again--counterintelligence has already been there, done that.

 

Al-Qaeda operatives and other terrorist organizations have certainly learned from the past.

 

They are trained in classic intelligence and counterintelligence tradecraft. Therefore before they commit their terrorist acts, they conduct surveillance, recruit sources, activate sleeper agents, and secure their plans with OPSEC (operations security) and even by the use of double agents.

 

It is in this period that counterintelligence can be most effective in preventing attacks by Identifying, Penetrating and Neutralizing.

 

Consider these quotes from the Al-Qaeda Training Manual found by police during a search of a terrorist's residence:

  • Spy: "It is said that the spy is called an eye because his work is through his eyes, or because of his excessive and preoccupation with observation, as if all his being is an eye."

  • Espionage: "Spying on the enemy is permitted and it may even be a duty in the case of war between Muslims and others."

  • Secret Sources: "The most important secret sources of information are from individuals who are recruited as either volunteers or because of other motives, recording and monitoring, photography, interrogation, documents by burglary or recruitment of personnel, surveillance, spying and observation."

  • Recruitment: "The brother gathering the information may start a friendship with one of the soldiers or officers of that base. Information may be collected gradually and easily from soldiers when giving them rides from the camp to the bus or train stations. Candidates for recruitment: workers at coffee shops, restaurants and hotels, employees at borders, airports and seaports, etc."

  • Case Officer/Agent Handler: "The brother who manages the agent should possess the qualifications of a perfect spy, a psychiatrist and an interrogator...he lures the agent with money and gifts."

  • Surveillance: "It is necessary to gather as much information about the location as possible. For instance: the economic characteristics of the area and traffic congestion times, amount and location of lighting, transportation lead to the location, etc. It is preferable to photograph the area as a whole first, then the street of the desired location. If possible, panoramic pictures should be taken."

  • Mission: "Gathering information about the enemy, the land, the installations and the neighbors.....The nation that wants to achieve victory over its enemy must know that enemy very well. It also must know the site of the battle in detail."

US counterintelligence has a long history of identifying and neutralizing foreign intelligence "Illegals" or "sleeper agents/cells" living in the United States. There is little difference between these agents and terrorist "sleeper" cells.

 

The same methods used to identify/neutralize one can do the same to the other. But the key is first understanding, learning and incorporating the discipline of counterintelligence.

 

CI Centre and its staff of intelligence experts offers important courses to give your organization a strong skill set to utilize counterintelligence at a time when our country needs CI the most.
