Summary/Abstract: More than ever, a great deal of information flood different channels towards the decisionmakers and the intelligence analyst has to cope with a growing responsibility to maintain relevance for national security. This task brings defence analysis a shaky grounds between the political territory of solving a public issue and the shady realm of the secret services. In military analysis, somewhat far from public knowledge there is still room for clearcut actionable intelligence.
