Remember, you read it hear first:
The overarching generality about the U.S. intelligence analytic community today is that most of it is engaged in work that is tactical, operational, or current. By most accounts, the relative lack of longer-term analysis has long been bemoaned. In other words, most analytic resources and activities are dedicated to intelligence reporting instead of attempting to attain the “deep understanding” of our adversaries that constitutes analysis.

I worked with Greg Treverton at the NIC back in the mid-90s, and he & Joe Nye were sounding this theme back then. Looks like an interesting report.

Reportage, even analytical reportage is easy compared to strategic thinking which is hard and requires some different cognitive skill sets. skill sets that tend to irritate clipboard-wielding managerial-administrative types.
