"Cutting Edge Training"...

I had the opportunity to sit through some training recently. It was provided by the best of the best, the lead agency for terrorism issues. The Instructor was a nice guy with some charisma which helped. Here is the problem, it was all open source information. Years behind what we were doing before the merger and the surprise is that the boss said that maybe we should incorporate some of the information into our training. Hello, maybe he was just being nice, but I doubt it.

There were a couple of hq folks sitting in and they probably thought it was cutting edge; and I guess that is one of the problems. What a sad state of affairs. It is kind of depressing.
