...personnel were present at the scene. Most likely, the local Taliban shadow governor promulgated the rumors of a desecrated Koran. Still, that incident as well as the Jalalabad one underscore the U.S.'s failure to understand the local environment, much of it attributable to a self-centered approach to gathering and disseminating intelligence throughout the Afghan theater. A new report titled "Fixing Intel: A Blueprint for Making Intelligence Relevant in Afghanistan," written by the top U.S. military intelligence commander there, slams intelligence failures (even before a Jordanian double agent detonated his suicide vest inside a CIA facility, killing eight personnel...
