Following cavguy's reminder I have re-read his recommended thread, although KISS does seem to be overlooked at times.

From a different viewpoint, civilian law enforcement & intelligence for CT, I have slowly learnt there are three key factors: Context (or situational awareness which is readily available and often partial), Detail (on suspects / targets / places etc which intelligence will seek to provide) and Insight (understanding, particularly about key targets and only slowly, rarely gained).

There are many pointers here to locate advice, which is what makes SWJ special.
