OSS CEO Challenges DNI to Intelligence Duel—Interactive Briefing at National Press Club Thursday Prior to DNI’s Luncheon Appearance
Washington, D.C., April 17/PRNEWSWIRE/ -- Robert David STEELE Vivas, international proponent for Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), has publicly challenged the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to an intelligence duel, with an open letter to the President and all Members of Congress. A copy of the open letter and related relevant information is posted at
Steele won a similar duel once before, under the sponsorship of the Aspin-Brown Commission. This duel is a little more serious—while it is friendly in that it offers the DNI a “break-out” opportunity and a win-win outcome, something he can use to consolidate his authority and embarrass the national secret agencies into getting a grip on reality as well as open sources—it is also confrontational. What the DNI is doing now in the open source arena where his initiatives are pathetically mediocre, is not working.
On Thursday 20 April 2006, from 0800 to 1100 and prior to the DNI’s luncheon appearance at the National Press Club, OSS CEO Robert Steele will offer an informational program in the West Room, with a breakfast buffet and refreshments all morning.
0800-0900: 9-11, U.S. Intelligence, and the Real World—A Study of Continued Failure
0900-1000 Fatal Sins and Living Lessons—Intelligence 101 for Concerned Citizens
1000-1100The Formal Challenge to a Duel (1000-1010), Q&A, On the Record Interviews
Contact Steele to reserve a camera position. Specific camera-ready sound-bites and photo opportunities are scheduled throughout the morning and will be identified in advance or repeated elsewhere if desired.
Steele will respectfully audit the DNI’s luncheon remarks without question or comment, and will be available following his departure to answer follow-up questions or clarify continuing opportunities for revolutionary intelligence reform. Steele will be available for in-depth on-the-record interviews all afternoon.
