There is a continuous interest among Freepers in gathering accurate intelligence regarding the war on terror.
To that end, the Intelligence Summit (www.intelligencesummit.org) is set for Feb 2006 in DC. Lots of high-speed speakers will deliver presentations, including former DCI James Woolsey.
My presentation will be titled "Countermeasure Methodology: Defeating Terrorists in the Reconnaissance Phase of the Operation."
If any of you attend, please intro yourself to me.

Why does this stuff always happen in a grubby little backwater like D.C.?
Drill:
You are talking about the place of my birth! Sadly, though, you are right.
[Wheezing sound as BtD pumps out 25]
Hmm...maybe a webcast? That would be seriously cool...
One Washingtonian to another...explain disinformation, it's importance and the fact you need to take all news from all source with a grain of salt.

Sounds good.
My presentation won't be on that topic, but I do mention and talk about it regularly on my shows.
Countermeasure Methodology: Defeating Terrorists in the Reconnaissance Phase of the Operation
Abstract:
Terrorists are able to carry out effective, well-coordinated attacks only after conducting thorough reconnaissance on selected targets. Regardless of their political, religious or social motivations, operational terrorist cells employ the same six-step process when mission planning, the third of which is target reconnaissance. "Countermeasure Methodology: Defeating Terrorists in the Reconnaissance Phase of the Operation" will examine the employment of Vulnerability Assessment Teams (VATs) to determine factors at a potential terrorist target that increase attack vulnerability and devise practical countermeasures, with the goal being to cause the terrorist reconnaissance team to avoid selecting a particular target because the evident countermeasures increase to an unacceptable level the chances of mission failure.
