Tom, I suspect that they don’t know how to get initiated into the “blog world” since it is like a vast jungle and you need a “native guide” to get started.

However, as you know, the better ones are written by knowledgeable people who have all kinds of real-world knowledge, and they have much good thinking, including off the wall thinking, that could be a source of good ideas and insights and “out of the box” mental provocation — all of which might be useful for the professionals.

I think the blogs on your blogroll would be a good place for the intell folks to start, and they could fan out from there.

FYI: when I recently did training session with mid-career intell analysts, I gave them all snapshots of these blogs, explaining much the same stuff that Lex does here.

I was a bit surprised, but blogs were completely alien to these guys and gals. I was sort of stunned.

Won’t say this is true through Intell Community, but I do believe there is a profound insularity at work there.

Many thanks for the kind words, and the links. I can’t speak for my cobloggers, but I at least actually also found you through Barnett’s blog. And as for your description, “patron saint” is the best one I’ve heard yet!
