Hatfield's and McCoy's - feuding amongst themselves until the 'governement' shows up - then they join forces to expel a common enemy - once the common enemy is gone, they go back to feuding...until they begin marrying between the families and the feud ends - guess it isn't only an American tradition.

And so it goes...

When I started reading this, it sounded identical to intel assessments in SE Asia back in the day. Doesn't intel training have a "Lessons Learned" block of instruction?

You're assuming MI uses the same definition for the word "intelligence" that we do...
