"We can no longer expect an Intelligence Community that is mostly male and mostly white to be able to monitor and infiltrate suspicious organizations or terrorist groups"

About this Quote

This quote by Jane Harman speaks with the need for diversity in the Intelligence Community. Harman is recommending that the Intelligence Community, which is currently mainly male and mainly white, is not geared up to effectively monitor and infiltrate suspicious companies or terrorist groups. This is due to the fact that the lack of variety in the Intelligence Community suggests that it is not able to understand the subtleties of different cultures and backgrounds, which is vital for reliable intelligence gathering. Harman is suggesting that the Intelligence Community needs to be more varied in order to have the ability to effectively monitor and infiltrate suspicious companies or terrorist groups. By having a more diverse Intelligence Community, it will be better equipped to comprehend the different cultures and backgrounds of individuals it is keeping track of and penetrating. This will lead to more efficient intelligence gathering and a better understanding of the people and companies the Intelligence Community is keeping an eye on.
