Subject: NIPF v3
In this version I have integrated 3 major sources: Der Spiegel Articles,
The SIGINT Strategic Mission List, and Wikileaks Cablegate items into a unified
document. Because this document contains information from different years,
I have provided date information in a separate column. In instances where
a country has been mentioned in several timeframes, I have made a new line
for each date rather than attempt to merge data across timeframes. A key
and supporting document have been provided. I have not yet had time to review
today's (Nov 19) FISA declassified material for clues. If any are present
they will be integrated accordingly.
Cablegate: there are 9 cables entitled "REPORTING AND COLLECTION NEEDS:
(Country/region)". These have provided a great deal of information regarding
the format of the NIPF and has allowed for much reworking of the column headers
in my chart: adding, merging, renaming etc.. They have provided complete
pictures of the priorities for a country or region and some details about
terrorist/paramilitary groups. They have allowed this document to take
major strides in mimicking the genuine article. Dated 2008-2009. The GI Files
(Stratfor) also had a few documents, (one of which was originally from
Cablegate). The remaining were not useful to the chart reconstruction.
The Cablegate material is quite detailed, if you desire more information
about a particular country I highly recommend reading the original cables
for more.

SIGINT Strategic Mission List: A January 2007 list of the SIGINT (Signals
Intelligence) requirements heavily based from the NIPF. It is lacking in
HUMINT (Human Intelligence) priorities. It is also generally lacking in
country-specific information regarding intentions of leadership, terrorism,
and demographics, health and a few other topics, except in the cases of Enduring
Targets. The information in the Cablegate documents has enabled me to map
the Missions to the NIPF format.

Der Spiegel: April 2013. Dribs and drabs of whatever seems important to tell
in a particular article.
