Simulating Citizenry

Note: this article gives a good description of the PeaceLab/CoLab simulation process. It was written to be one of the features in the inaugural edition of a new, online journal devoted to gaming applications edited by some leading technology gamers -- good idea but, like many of the 'dot.com' ideas, it didn't get off the ground.

Defense Intelligence in a Disorderly World
This article was invited by the editors to be the keynote essay in the inaugural issue of a brand new professional journal published by the Defense Intelligence College Foundation. At that time I had been working for several years as the assistant to the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Policy). My duties included a great deal of liaison with all the branches of the intelligence community. This essay urged on the professionals of the intelligence community the need to recast themselves if they were to remain relevant to policy makers in the much-changed strategic climate of the post-Cold War world. I thought then and think now that America's superb intelligence professionals overhauled themselves with much more agility than they are credited. Successful intelligence hangs as much on the skill of the user-decision maker as on the intelligence producer. These considerations continue to figure in some of my op-eds. Spring 1992.
