Author Kerry Patton was interviewed by Jamie Colby on Fox News Live on 5 July discussing the just-released 2011 National Counterterrorism Strategy.
"Kerry Patton has a passion for improving the security of our country, and for improving how we carry out a vital mission in the Global War on Terror. Patton has had his boots on the ground, squatted in the dust, ate goat with his hands, and imbibed the culture of our allies and enemies. He does a valuable service in opening the discussion of applying anthropology (the study of culture) to our greater National Security needs. This work should be just the first salvo in the battle to confirm the justness of Kerry's approach. We cannot allow misguided academics to take away a valuable tool in our efforts to do the right thing." Kent Clizbe, Cross-cultural Humint Expert, Educator, and Commentator
"Kerry Patton provides an in-depth, much needed, and fully analyzed proposal for a newly instituted intelligence discipline known as SOCINT. After operating and living with local Afghans, his supporting evidence matches that which Major General Michael Flynn recently described in his works Fixing Intel: A Blueprint for Making Intelligence Relevant in Afghanistan. With billions of dollars expended and lives of America's finest continuously endangered, there is no better time to incorporate a "Sociocultural Intelligence" discipline in defeating asymmetrical threats. MUST READ!" Thomas G. McInerney, Lt. Gen. USAF (Ret)
"Patton puts forward an interesting proposal that can improve multidimensional intelligence analysis by focusing on those "hidden" social and cultural aspects we currently ignore. It is clear we need a new type of intelligence officer and decision-maker that appreciate the value of these intangibles and then commit themselves on collecting, analyzing and acting upon them in our quest for understanding, and solving the world's problems." Dalene Duvenage, CEO, 4Knowledge Analysis Solutions, South Africa.
Kerry E. Patton is an internationally recognized security, terrorism, and intelligence expert. He has served in the Departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security within multiple capacities, from human intelligence to dignitary protection of Afghan President Karzai. He has published Terrorism, Intelligence, and National Security and several articles. He teaches terrorism and intelligence at Henley Putnam University.
