A discussion to establish a Gateway for mailing list "Cloaks-and-Daggers"
on node "Listserv@sjuvm.stjohns.edu is under way.

Proposed Gateway would be: "bit.listserv.cloaks-and-daggers"


-------------------- STATEMENT OF PURPOSE ---------------------------

The   purpose  of  this  group  is  to  bring  together  students  and
professionals alike, both here and abroad,that share in the  study  of
intelligence  as perceived in today's rapid changing world. To offer a
meeting place for retired  personnel  and  to  draw  upon  their  vast
reservoir  of  knowledge  in  a  subject  often  misunderstood  as  an
occupation, or social institution.

It would seek to offer a meeting place for the exchange of  ideas  and
concepts;  to  analyze the effectiveness of intelligence gathering and
to differentiate between politically oriented intelligence and  profit
motivated  goals:  Government vs.  the private sector.  To discuss the
practical application of intelligence gathering as seen today vs.  the
"yesteryear"....Is intelligence a  new  concept?   One  borne  out  of
today's high tech world?

Is "Intelligence" a misnomer, or misleading? A cloak in and of itself?

To gather, identify, classify, and ultimately, disseminate information
- controlled, or otherwise....

If  intelligence  dissemination  is  controlled,  can  it influence or
modify human behavior?  "Good Intelligence" vs.   "Bad  Intelligence".
Objective  vs.  subjective  use of intelligence data. Is one good, the
other bad? What criteria determines "subjectivity"? "Objectivity"?

"Cloaks and Daggers" is a moderated news group, which means that  only
articles  with  a  subject  matter  content  - or life experience - as
outlined above will be posted!  This is only intended  to  assure  the
free  flow of knowledge and information,(intelligence?),resulting in a
maximum educational benefit for all readers.
