DRDC Looking At Intelligence Analysis Bias
A recent posting on MERX:
“….Defence Research & Development Canada (DRDC) have a requirement to retain the services of a contractor to provide support for DRDC Toronto’s data collection and collection involving a series of behavioural science experiments with human subjects. The experiments described in this Statement of Work (SOW) are motivated by DRDC Toronto’s Applied Research Program (ARP) project, entitled “Understanding and Augmenting Human Capabilities for Intelligence Production,” which is under the project management of Dr. David R. Mandel, Group Leader of the Thinking, Risk, and Intelligence Group within DRDC Toronto’s Adversarial Intent Section. The overarching objectives of the ARP project and the experiments described herein for which contractor support is sought are: (a) to identify systematic biases in human performance that may effect the quality of intelligence analysis; (b) to identify factors that may attenuate or amplify such biases or otherwise influence judgmental performance; and (c) to examine the viability of counter-measures aimed at reducing or eliminating them….”
Note to anyone wanting to see more into this than is really there: they're talking COGNITIVE, not POLITICAL bias.
A bit more detail available in the Statement of Work here.

Speaking of Intel matters, here's a fascinating article about Intel in Af-stan, from Strategy Page, entitled "Leaving the Desert for the Mountains". Geeks, UAV-generated video, computers and predictive analysis.
