Author NameUniversity of Author
Abstract (2. Language): 
The article focuses on the intelligence collection as a subfield of overall national security activity. Although main focus is on United States experience most of the conclusions it makes can be true for other countries too. One of such conclusions is that both United States and all the coalition members in Iraq and Afghanistan indeed fight Fourth Generation Warfare. Struggle against transnational terrorism is just only one manifestation of absolutely new generation of warfare. New type of warfare can be also applied by nation-states too, in this article provides the list of such rogue states purely from American perspective while realities maybe different for other countries. While new generation of war has already arrived it caught most of the countries unprepared. Article drives specific examples from 9/11 to prove how specifically intelligence collection failed in that sense.
