Glossary Intelligence assessment slang / Term
Human Intelligence. Not as impressive as it sounds. Another word for it is gossip. Most passive activities tap human sources. Most analysts read the New York Times, and claim they are using humint through intermediaries. It’s totally true. Clancies love it. Real humint is tough.
Gtting people to tell you what you need to know without them realizing what they are doing is not easy. Fun—but not easy.
