Improvements needed
[edit]This article needs work, but there's hope.
- The title needs improvement. Wikipedia titles need to be clearly descriptive, since they drive search engines.
- The first paragraph is too much like an essay.
- Should this be covered along with outsourcing of other security functions? What about Blackwater Worldwide?

- I think this article has hope, but it will need a great deal of expansion. I'd expect to see additional sections on why a country chooses to outsource intelligence gathering and what advantages and disadvantages this brings. Ideally, there would also be a section on the history of outsourcing intelligence. Right now the article is extremely US-focused; it should be broadened to cover practices in other countries or regions of the world. When you've got a good solid article, I'd recommend putting a summary of the article into the main intelligence (information gathering) article, per wikipedia's guideline on summary style.

- The current content of the article mostly duplicates Central Intelligence Agency#Outsourcing. Is there anything important here that isn't covered in the main CIA article? --John Nagle (talk) 15:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
