Johnson  aLondon :bCRC Press,c2007  axx, 658 p. :b: illus. ;c25 cm  aIndeks : p. 635 - 658  aBy applying the best of scientific decision-making practices this book introduces the concept of risk management and its application in the structure of national security decisions. It examines the acquisition and utilization of all-source intelligence, including the ability to analyze data and forecast patterns, to enable policymakers to make better informed decisions. The text addresses reaction and prevention strategies applicable to chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons; agricultural terrorism; cyberterrorism; and other potential threats to our critical infrastructure. It discusses legal issues that inevitably arise when integrating new legislation with the threads of our Constitution and illustrates the dispassionate analysis of our intelligence, law enforcement, and military operations and actions. Finally, the book considers the redirection of our national research and laboratory system to investigate the very problems terrorists can induce through the use of weapons we have as yet to confront. 4aIntelligence Service -- United States 4aNational Security -- United States  a10602/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10603/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10602/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10603/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10602/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10603/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10603/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10602/MKRI-P/XI-2008
