After reading the documents, answer the following questions in discussion
groups: As it relates to the source “Curveball,” did the analysts adhere to best
practices outlined in IC analytic standards 103 (see page73)? Were ambiguities in
the quality of the source accurately conveyed in the language of the NIE?
Answer:
The IC Analytic Standards aids as a common Intelligence Community foundation for developing education and training in analytic skills. The IC Analytic Standards are the core principles of IA (Intelligence Analysis) and are used across the entire Intelligence community. It will be used to improve programs for education in analytic knowledge. I believe that from the source Curveball, the analyst did follow the practices outlines in the Intelligence Community standards. On page 72 it states the five analytic standards are Objective, Independent of political consideration, Timely, Based on all available sources of intelligence information and implements and exhibits analytic standards. On page 73 it says that the ICP will help colleagues stay on schedule, when writing a credible report you need support from primary and secondary sources. Being in the intelligence community, there is a broader range of sources available from human resources, electronic communications and imagery. You will also need to make sure whoever
wrote the article will have the facts and everything verified. There were doubts of the sources conveyed because people take sources and just run with them instead of fact checking an verifying everything. The date, publisher and statement should be on the paper together.

Chapter 5 Exercise 3
Current Event On October 1, 2023 it was published that more than a hundred dolphins have been found dead in the Brazilian Amazon. In the Brazilian Amazon there has been a record-high water temp and drought that have passed 102 degrees. The dolphins were found in Lake Tefe and suggested record high lake temperatures and a drought in the Amazon are the cause for their deaths (CNN, 2023). This news adds to the reasons that climate scientist says human activity and extreme droughts are having on the region (CNN, 2023). The River is currently in the dry season and more than several types of animals are suffering from the temperature. The factors that could affect these issues are the high temperatures and drought that many are experiencing (CNN, 2023). The good part of this story is that researchers are trying to rescue the surviving dolphins and out them into the main river where the water is cooler but doing this it may not be safe. It may not be safe because toxins or viruses could be present and that needs to be identified immediately (CNN, 2023). The economy is impacted as well due to the drought in the Amazon. Fishing and transport activities on the river have stopped due this catastrophe (CNN, 2023).
