In this engaging episode of The World of Intelligence, host Harry Kemsley dives deep into the complexities of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) in part one of a two-part discussion. Joined by experts Dr. Joe Hadfield and Dr. David Geo, the conversation explores the evolving definition of OSINT, its historical context, and the implications of its use in intelligence analysis. Dr. Hadfield challenges the coherence of the OSINT concept, suggesting it may be a "junk drawer" term that complicates the intelligence taxonomy. Meanwhile, Dr. Geo highlights the need for critical thinking and analytical tradecraft in leveraging publicly available information. Together, they unpack the significance of OSINT in contemporary intelligence practices and question whether it deserves its own category. Tune in for an insightful exploration of this vital topic.
