Summary/Abstract: An intelligence failure is the inability of one or more parts of the intelligence process (collection, evaluation, analysis, production, dissemination) to produce timely, accurate intelligence on an issue or event of importance to national interest (Mark Lowenthal, 1985). But intelligence is not perfect and it is not a science, mistakes within an organization as a whole could occur and, naturally, failures are an inherent part of intelligence due to the reality of human and economic limitations. Economic limitations entail the allocation of scarce financial resources towards security threats.2 So, what do we understand by an intelligence failure?
