Question 1

Of the following examples, which best describes all-source intelligence?&#10;A) Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating over Afghanistan, Pakistan, and other countries, such as Yemen.&#10;B) In 2005, President Bush ordered the monitoring of conversations of individuals in the United States who were calling suspected foreign terrorists overseas.&#10;C) The capturing and killing of Osama bin Laden&#10;D) The breaking of the German Enigma cipher

Accepted Answer

All-source intelligence involves integrating information from multiple sources to create a comprehensive understanding. The capturing and killing of Osama bin Laden involved various intelligence sources, including human intelligence, signals intelligence, and geospatial intelligence.

Question 2

Which agency administers domestic intelligence and terrorism wiretaps?&#10;A) FBI&#10;B) NSA&#10;C) CIA&#10;D) Both A and B

Accepted Answer

The FBI administers domestic intelligence and terrorism wiretaps. The NSA is primarily responsible for foreign intelligence gathering. The CIA is responsible for gathering intelligence overseas.

Question 3

Which one of the following statements is true?&#10;A) Listening in on international calls using SIGINT is not allowed without a judge's approval&#10;B) Listening in on domestic calls using SIGINT is not allowed without a judge's approval&#10;C) Listening in on both international and domestic calls using SIGINT is not allowed without a judge's approval&#10;D) None of the above is true

Accepted Answer

Listening in on domestic calls using Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) typically requires a judge's approval or a warrant to ensure that the surveillance is conducted legally and respects the privacy rights of individuals, in accordance with laws such as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the United States.

Question 4

Indirect measurements of technical data are:&#10;A) SIGINT&#10;B) MASINT&#10;C) GEOINT&#10;D) IMINT

Accepted Answer

Indirect measurements of technical data are best categorized as Measurement and Signature Intelligence (MASINT), which involves collecting and analyzing technical data to provide intelligence information. SIGINT (signals intelligence) involves intercepting and analyzing communication signals, GEOINT (geospatial intelligence) involves analysis of imagery and geospatial data, and IMINT (imagery intelligence) specifically refers to analysis of visual imagery. While some indirect technical measurements may involve analysis of imagery, MASINT is the most appropriate category for this type of intelligence collection.

Question 5

What do analysts and briefers use to alert policymakers to the level of confidence they have in their judgments, based on the available information?&#10;A) Estimative language&#10;B) All-source intelligence&#10;C) Collection source&#10;D) Collection plan

Accepted Answer

Analysts and briefers use estimative language, such as words like "likely," "possible," or "probably," to indicate the level of confidence they have in their judgments based on available information. This helps policymakers understand the level of uncertainty in the information being presented. All-source intelligence, collection sources, and collection plans are all tools and methods used to gather information, but they do not directly indicate the level of confidence in judgments.
