Counterintelligence Policies

One of threatening crime these old age in the U. S. is terrorism like the 9/11 tragedy and other convertible terrorism invades. The reason is obvious that such attacks turn come out of the closet to be dead happened that scare most people to go into public venues like malls, office buildings, spate or railway stations, and other places of interests. foregoing to 9/11 tragedy, the U. S. experienced awing delivery growth in term of gross domestic product in which, according to CIA Factbook, in the source place 2001 the kingdom became the largest and the most powerful economy in the world with a per capita GDP of $36,200 (CIA Factbook 2001).However, the situation turned upside go across when terrorists attacked the Pentagon and Two Buildings of World Trade focalise in September 2001. It turned out that the 9/11 brought the estates economy to experience a nifty suffer since nigh industries experienced commodious losses and slow growth afterwards. In order to prevent s uch huge loses in the succeeding(a) U. S. government takes some necessary actions in both unlike and domestic policy especially regarding the household country defense initiatives (counterintelligence) to protect U. S. citizen from unconnected espionages that threatens the U.S. nation pile protection, which also impacts the country economy. Concerning the counterintelligence issues that the U. S. faces, therefore, the thesis statement for this paper is As conflicting intelligence action becomes threats to the U. S. national security, what goals and policies that U. S. counterintelligence has in spite of appearance the past half a dozen decades and in the future and what factors in the counterintelligence initiatives that need fixing to improve future successes in counterintelligence 2. Counterintelligences in the U. S. 2. 1 History and Recent Cases of Counterintelligence in the U.S. A big(p) power is the result of the great pressure. This condition highlights the roadmap of the U. S. counterintelligence initiatives within the past six decades. To date, United States is still perceived as the most powerful nation on the earth that suggests many actions threat the country to challenge their defense system. Due to the catamenia position as a ace power country, such actions to the countrys land will take months or even years of preparation since the attackers must guide reliable culture astir(predicate) the countrys defense earlier prior to execute it.Since any attacks to the country take some times by sending the intelligence, therefore, the country has to have the ability to counteract any intelligence performed by countrys counterparts by securing indispensable information slightly their national security plans. One of action to secure it is through with(predicate) counterintelligence. Historically, counterintelligence started several decades ago when John Jay became the first coordinated a national take aim of counterintelligence effort s.At that time, the goal of committing the counterintelligence is to lead a legislative committee to investigate a plot to sabotage defense and infrastructure targets in New York. In his investigations, Jay employs at least(prenominal) 10 agents a few of the storied sensations are Nathaniel Sackett, Elijah Hunter and Enoch Crosby. All of his agents were in operation(p) under enormous pressure. Some were underground being unmasked meant death to all of them (Rose P. K. , 1999). Enoch Crosby is the scoop riddle agent that John Jay has.He uses non-homogeneous names and identity to retrieve information about the pro-Britishs activities. After he get to famous for his work in one place, he was assign to some other area, joining another pro-British Colony (Rose, 1999).In addition, one of recent cases in counterintelligence was on the arrests of 2 Chinese, Fei Ye and Ming Zhong, who found guilty for their actions of committing economic espionage, highlights the immensity to con duct counterintelligence to secure the U. S. critical resources including trade secrets. The cases occurred when they found to bring the stolen trade secret in their luggage in San Francisco transnational Airport in November 2001. According to their statement, they delineate to take the trade secrets of two well-known IT companies in the U. S. -Sun Microsystems, Inc. and Transmeta Corporation- to support and profit the phylogeny of the respective industry in chinaware (Department of Justice, 2006).Similarly, the case of 9/11 attack also highlights that the country experiences information leaks about sensitive defense material that permit the tragedy happens. Other leaks of information baron cause another threats to America in the future. Here is where American Counterintelligence takes a racy role. American Counterintelligence has found that leaks of information have often happened in the United States governmental and intelligence environments. It turned out the narration of Americans sold out their country goes moxie a very long way.
