==Study of Damage Caused by Unauthorized Disclosures of Classified Intelligence==
The DCI Foreign Denial and Deception Committee (FDDC) "published a landmark study of damage caused by unauthorized disclosures of classified intelligence, in support of the Attorney General's report to Congress (per Section 310 of the FY2002 Intelligence Authorization Act). Per DCI direction, FDDC began an [[Intelligence Community]]-wide initiative to provide denial and deception (D&D) briefings to Senior Intelligence Service-level managers. FDDC also launched a major training initiative in partnership with the [[Joint Military Intelligence College]] for senior IC analysts to better counter foreign D&D." --[http://www.cia.gov/cia/reports/Ann_Rpt_2002/scfi.html DCI Annual Report 2002].
