For this assignment, instead of looking at an intelligence problem, you will look at an intelligence failure. Bay of Pigs Invasion.
Please note, that your topic does not have to focus on US intelligence, it can look at the failure of another country's intelligence agencies. Also note, that this is not intended to be a critique of any presidential administration past or present. Instead this is an analysis of the analytical pitfalls that led to the intelligence failure. This paper should include the following elements:
• Title page
• Introduction with strong thesis statement
• Background and analysis of the intelligence failure
• Assessment of which analytical techniques learned in this class could have prevented the failure: Analysis of Competing Hypotheses
• Conclusion
• Bibliography
