Excellent Work.
Very well put together with the information made readily available. 

I can almost bet you, no-one in our current Alphabetic agency's  are  are currently read that online magazine.

We don't believe it is Eyes and Ears Open Investigative Field Work Anymore,,, It's Crisis Management!
Just Our Humble Opinion.

Uncle Charlie used to have a whole section of analysts who did nothing but scour open-source publications such as magazines and newspapers for intel, and who then correlated and combined that intel into actionable intel. They don't do that any more?

Kinda makes ya wonder who in the hell is running this show, y'know?

Mr. G. just asked if you remembered back in the 60's and 70's when we has Real Investigative Reporters?
Those reporters from the 60's carried over to the 70's and late 70's before the 80's.
The 80's seen the end of good or real investigative reporters.
Put to make a longer story shorter.
He says they used to use them as information sources and they very often were correct.
Yes, News papers and magazines at one time was a great source to watch and plan a move against the Bad Guys.

At that time, their photographers would travel world wide and write and take pictures, often in places we couldn't get into to.
Sorry we derail the thread.
