One topic of interest in early writings is what makes a good and bad ruler. There is only one king in the epic, and that is Gilgamesh himself. However, because he changes so much as a result of the events portrayed in the epic, he changes from a bad ruler to a good one. His performance as each is discussed in the introductory section of the epic.
Discuss one characteristic of a bad ruler that Gilgamesh demonstrate in the years before the events discussed in the epic OR one characteristic of a good ruler does he demonstrate in the years after the epic concludes.
Make sure to give an example of how Gilgamesh demonstrates the characteristic you discuss, and include the page numbers.

Title: Are Current Strategic Intelligence Collection Methods Enough to Keep America Safe?
___X____CO-5: Differentiate the fundamental capabilities and limitations of strategic intelligence collection.
Thesis Statement: Although there are limitations that come with strategic intelligence collection, which could lead to future attacks, there are immense capabilities as well. These capabilities are what helps make America safe and will continue in doing so.
Outline: Limitations of strategic intelligence collection, capabilities of strategic intelligence collection, safety of America.
1. Introduction: Although I was only five years old when 9/11 occurred, I still remember the events from that day. If you ask any American who is old enough to remember that day, they will most likely tell you the same thing. Since America’s existence, we’ve been fortunate that we’ve rarely had to deal with foreign attacks or invasions. Events similar to or as devastating as 9/11 always seemed to happen in far away, desolate countries. 9/11 was a wake-up call for many Americans, it was an attack on our home front. And since that day, the way intelligence has been gathered has drastically changed and grown. This growth in intelligence collection has stopped America from having another 9/11 style attack, but we have still had plenty of other small-scale attacks. From the Boston Bombings to the Orlando Night Club shooting, and various other methods including cyber-attacks. Which bring up the question, are current strategic intelligence strategies enough to keep America Safe? Although there are limitations that come with strategic intelligence collection, which could lead to future attacks, there are immense capabilities as well. These capabilities are what helps make America safe and will continue to do so.
2. Main Point #1: Limitations of strategic intelligence collection
a. There is so much intel to collect, it can be difficult to sort out what is credible. Understanding as an American public, the probability that every attack will be stopped isn’t feasibly possible.
b. By the time intel is collected and understood, is it even possible to make necessary adjustments to counter an attack?
c. Once strategic intelligence does reach policy makers, does it then become politicized? Is it used in the most effective manner?
3. Main Point #2: Capabilities of strategic intelligence collection
a. Changes in technology allow reliable strategic intelligence collection to happen at a much faster rate.
b. The capability to gain multiple types of intelligence, HUMINT, IMINT, MASINT, OSINT, SIGINT.
c. Allows policy makers to make large scale decisions with credible intelligence, which keeps US interests at the forefront.
4 Main point #3: How the capabilities overcome the limitations of strategic intelligence collection and keeps America safe.
a. There hasn’t been a 9/11 scale attack since that day, due to the capabilities of strategic intelligence collection.
b. Massive amounts of funding go to intelligence agencies every year, which helps keep the US safe.
c. Although intelligence can be politicized, safety of the American public is agreed upon by both sides of the political parties.
5. Conclusion: Safety and security is at the forefront when it comes to enabling people to live, work and thrive in society. If we aren’t secure or safe, then there is very little ability to branch out and live the “American Dream.” By understanding what the limitations and capabilities of strategic intelligence collection are, we can not only have a better appreciation for the time and work that is required to sift through endless data to find credible intelligence. We also have a better understanding of the institutions that are in place to help keep us safe. And although it may seem as if America is unsafe due to the endless media attention that hostile acts receive, we live in an incredibly safe time, and this is in large part due to the capabilities of strategic intelligence collection.

We have seen a greater focus on terrorism and online environments. Some of these areas include recruitment, radicalization, funding, planning and carrying out an attack (cyber and physical locations), and promoting the group to the public. Some of these same technologies are also used for counterterrorism interventions. Many specific areas have been addressed. For example, the Internet has allowed terrorist groups to promote and present their propaganda on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and WhatsApp as well as to communicate with each other and work toward their goals. Terrorist groups produce online books, magazines, videos, and games.
For this assignment, please present a case study that focuses on how online technology is used by terrorists or by those working in the counterterrorism field.
