Pub. L. 109–163, div. A, title IX, § 931, Jan. 6, 2006, 119
Stat. 3411, provided that:
‘‘(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings:
‘‘(1) Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is intel-
ligence that is produced from publicly available in-
formation and is collected, exploited, and dissemi-
nated in a timely manner to an appropriate audience
for the purpose of addressing a specific intelligence
requirement.
‘‘(2) With the Information Revolution, the amount,
significance, and accessibility of open-source infor-
mation has expanded significantly, but the intel-
ligence community has not expanded its exploitation
efforts and systems to produce open-source intel-
ligence.
‘‘(3) The production of open-source intelligence is a
valuable intelligence discipline that must be inte-
grated into intelligence tasking, collection, proc-
essing, exploitation, and dissemination to ensure that
United States policymakers are fully and completely
informed.
‘‘(4) The dissemination and use of validated open-
source intelligence inherently enables information
sharing since open-source intelligence is produced
without the use of sensitive sources and methods.
Open-source intelligence products can be shared with
the American public and foreign allies because of the
unclassified natur
