CIA Tip on Intelligence Analysis

Heard this quote tonight and it made me think of Serial/Undisclosed fans who could learn a thing or two about the difference in having integrity for the truth versus integrity for their position... and it applies to the detectives in this case, too:

"If you lead the intelligence, you're going in with a bias -- a presupposed idea of where you want to end up with the information.

If you let the intelligence lead you, then you don't end up thinking about it in terms of, 'I already know the answer.' You're actually going to let the information tell you the answer."

Love that.
