Warning Intelligence on the Internet Review (WIIR) No. 107—Special Issue 2 January 2002

Published every other Wednesday, the WIIR presents unclassified English-language global threat intelligence found on the public Internet. It is prepared under contract by Interaction Systems Incorporated (ISI) for the National Intelligence Officer for Warning and the National Intelligence Council. Issues of the WIIR are posted online on NICOLE, Intelink, and the Open Source Information System. The summaries and quoted excerpts in WIIR issues are intended for the use of members of the U.S. intelligence community in furtherance of their professional duties—and the summaries and quoted excerpts are subject to the copyright protections associated with the original sources. Please provide questions, comments, and websites for future Internet review to Dr. James Arnold Miller, Chairman, ISI, at [email protected], 703-938-1774, and fax 703-938-1727.

Mining Online Open Sources

Given the horrendous terrorist attack on the United States on 11 September 2001 and the ensuing war against global terrorism, unclassified or open source intelligence (OSINT) is more important than ever. And this means exploiting not just information on the public Internet but also, very importantly, what is and becomes available on the federal government’s online Open Source Information System (OSIS). The dedicated facilitators in the Community Open Source Program (COSP) and their OSIS practitioners in Washington and around the globe have been working hard for years to promote and enable the use of OSINT in intelligence research and analysis. Our nation’s warfighters— pilots, sailors, special operations commandos, or cops and other first responders at home—need all the help they can get in the intelligence area. There has never been a greater need for quality OSINT.

Having said that, where can we find quality OSINT? In the more than two years since we’ve been preparing the WIIR, we’ve found a great many websites on the public Internet that have proven to be valuable sources of warning-related and other open source intelligence. But since we obtained access in early 2001 to OSIS we have come to realize that often the unclassified information available through OSIS exceeds or matches information on the public Internet. Many hundreds of intelligence professionals in and out of government today are persistently and increasingly effectively collecting (often at substantial dollar cost), synthesizing, analyzing, and disseminating quality open source information relating to homeland security and the global war on terrorism. The primary purpose of this special issue of the WIIR is to try to assist all of those OSINT “warfighters.” For we believe that the first line of defense as well as offense in the war against terrorism is intelligence, and we also believe that the job can’t be done without maximum collection and exploitation of OSINT.

In several of our previous issues of the WIIR, which began publication in November 1999, we presented lists of information providers on the public Internet. Now that we are regular exploiters of the information resources on OSIS, we present below a listing of online OSINT resources available on OSIS and/or the public Internet. While clearly oversimplifying greatly, we have assigned each of the OSIS and public Internet websites to a regional or functional topic. Our goal is to present “starting points” for readers interested in finding OSINT resources relating to broad categories of interest.

Regional and Functional Topics for Organizing Regional and Functional Topics

We have tried to verify the accuracy/currency of all website addresses (Uniform Resource Locators, or URLs) cited below and apologize for any errors. While you are online within OSIS you of course can gain access to the associated websites by pointing and clicking—but we include below the URLs of OSIS websites in the event you want to “bookmark” any of these sites.

Please let us know if you have any problems or questions—and also if you can suggest any other websites that we should be aware of. We did exclude a few otherwise recently useful websites on OSIS and on the public Internet that we were unable to access during the last several days. We are grateful for any and all feedback on our website listings and on the substantive reporting in the WIIR. Please let us know at [email protected] how we can help you make your OSIS and public Internet mining more productive. We face the tremendous challenge of better using OSINT to help meet the pressing and growing intelligence needs of homeland defense and the war on terrorism. All the best for 2002 personally and professionally!
