Problem
1) Pick a US adversary or ally (DO NOT PICK: North Korea; China; Russia; Iran; Cuba; Israel; or the UK) and discuss its intelligence organization's relevance to US national security, either in maintaining or threatening it.
2) Assess the intelligence capabilities of your chosen state (SIGINT, HUMINT, GEOINT, OSINT, MASINT) noting whether or not they are marginally capable, capable, or highly capable. Detail is key.
