Overview
The book "Intelligence vs Common Sense: US and Israeli Intelligence Services, and the Not-So-Deep State" compares the success, weaknesses, and failures of the Intelligence organizations in Israel and the US. It is based on an analysis of books written by the former directors of various intelligence organizations in both countries (CIA, NSA and FBI in the US, and Mossad, GSS, and Military Intelligence in Israel). Although some of the recent books by former US intelligence directors were published with the objective of opposing the new president, instead they expose the way the US Intelligence Community (IC) does its job. They also list the ways that the IC mismanages the information, along with all their failures, and the causes for these failures. Avinoam Sapir, the author of "Intelligence vs Common Sense", served in Israeli Military Intelligence and the Israeli Police polygraph. He holds a B.A. in both Psychology and Criminology, and an M.A. in Criminology. During the past few decades, Mr Sapir has conducted training in interviewing for various government agencies in Israel, the US, Canada, and several other countries around the world.He developed the SCAN technique, i.e. analysis of statements, by conducting extensive research into verbal communication, looking into the linguistic behavior used by people in communication. SCAN (Scientific Content Analysis) analyzes a text or statement strictly according to the words used. The SCAN technique is currently being used in many police departments and other government agencies in many countries.
