Surprise Attack: Understanding the Challenges of Intelligence Analysis

The horrors of Hamas’ terrorist attack against Israel on October 7, 2023 are compounded by the shock that Israel’s vaunted intelligence services were seemingly caught unawares after decades of exceptional performance. In this two-part series, the Overheard podcast addresses the challenges of predicting and preventing surprise attacks from the perspectives of intelligence collection, analysis, and interaction with policy makers.

In part two, Phil Wasielewski speaks with Bruce Riedel and Nathan Dietrich, both former CIA analysts, about the challenges related to analyzing all-source information to prevent surprise attacks and issues of communicating warnings between an intelligence community and its policy makers.
