Look at a high profile case that involved local law enforcement and the intelligence community. Some choices you might want to look at include the Boston Marathon Bombing in April 2013, the Ft. Hood shootings in November 2009, the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington, the foiled Najibullah Zazi’s plot to bomb the New York subways (No information seems to have been shared with local LE), or another case of your choosing. Indicate which case you are looking at, and provide a link to the story if needed.
Summarize the important points of the case, including when the IC seemed to have information that could have been shared, and which agency had the information.
Identify 3 reasons that the IC failed to share information. Indicate whether each is an admission of the IC, a charge made by the LE community (or another non-LE part of government), or a justified opinion on your part.
From the perspective of the LE community, rebut the 3 reasons, and summarize how local LE could have re-positioned its efforts to stop the attack.
Evaluate whether repositioning LE assets as a result of information sharing would have impacted the final outcome, and whether it would have been better to share information.
Properly cite your quotations that you use to support your statements.
