Repeated intelligence failures in Iraq, Libya, and across the Middle East and North Africa have left many critics searching for a smoking gun. Amidst questions of who misread – or manipulated – the intel, a fundamental truth goes unaddressed: Western intelligence is not designed to understand the world. In fact, it cannot.
The Covert Colour Line
In The Covert Colour Line, Oliver Kearns shows how catastrophic mistakes made by British and US intelligence services since 9/11 are underpinned by racist assumptions forged in the crucible of the Cold War-era colonial retreat. Understanding this historical context is vital to explaining why anglophone state intelligence is unable to grasp the motives of ‘adversaries.’
