For accounts of these watershed investigations, see Johnson (1985, 2004); Schwarz and Huq (2007); and Smist (1994). 4 Owing to space limitations, I have been able to cite only a few works by just some of the leading scholars mentioned in this essay. These citations serve as a useful starting place for new scholars entering the field and seeking an orientation, but the reader is encouraged to explore the more complete bibliographies in Gibbs (2005), Johnson (2005, 2012) and Wirtz (2007), and to conduct an internet search on particular authors referred to in this chapter.
Most intelligence scholars have been interested in the strategic level of study: the role of intelligence in national decision councils where sweeping global objectives are at play. Yet much intelligence funding by governments is dedicated to SMO: support to military operations in the field – meeting the information needs of uniformed war-fighters at the tactical level. Journalists have become more adept at ‘embedding’ themselves into combat units for reporting on foreign conflicts; scholars have yet to adopt this methodology, which would provide first-hand observations of intelligence-at-work at the tactical level.
These three panels produced a vast quantity of public reporting. The documents (hearings and reports) released by the Church Committee alone stood some six feet high. The Rockefeller Commission released only a single report, but it was a thorough and biting criticism of domestic intelligence abuses traced to the CIA and several of its companion agencies. Members of the Pike panel voted to keep their highly classified report bottled up in committee, but it leaked to the Village Voice (a newspaper in New York City) and revealed to the public strong criticism of the Agency’s intelligence failures.
