This paper discusses the role of US intelligence in preventive warfare. The author finds that the effectiveness of any first-strike military doctrine depends on reliable intelligence, but that the US intelligence community's inability to produce accurate information on enemy threats renders such a doctrine ineffective. In this paper, the author outlines several broad principles on how policy makers can enhance the quality of intelligence assessment and increase the likelihood of sound foreign policy.
