The Difference Between Information And Intelligence

______________________________________________________________________________________

09/10/01
There were nineteen dossiers,

each in the sole possession 

of nineteen different agents.

Each dossier finely detailed 

the daily behavior and lifestyle 

of nineteen different "suspects."

Each of those dossiers contained information:

very elaborate and articulated information.

But none of those dossiers contained intelligence

If intelligence were involved, the dossiers

would have all been common knowledge

to each of the nineteen agents.

And the next day would have been nothing more

than a sunny September Tuesday in New York.
