In this episode we jump right into the topic of narrowing our Internet searches to specific sources and having some fun with word play.

In this episode we discuss an article from the 30 November of the Christian Science Monitor regarding intelligence methods employed by the People's Republic of China. This article is the basis to consider differences in perceptions and practices of intelligence and espionage around the world, and considerations of the role of counterintelligence.

In this episode we look at upcoming CI tradeshows, talk about CI in the news and explore a method for creating quality Internet search strategies.
