Dear Mr. Shum,
Very pleased to see your notice today calling for contributors to
demonstrate technology that aids the craft of
argumentation. ..
Centering the exercise on the
Iraq invasion
should draw interest in your
project to enlighten critical policy issues, shown by review on September 11,
2001 that found
better analysis capabilities are needed.
..
Your project to illuminate tools and skills that meet this need
may further show how sound argument that "connects the dots"
based on an accurate record is an important requirement in health
care, education, government, procurement, engineering, law,
indeed all forms of knowledge work in addition to national
security most commonly associated with "intelligence."
.. Congratulations on timely research.
