Abstract
On November 15, 2023, Dr. Barry Zulauf presented Professionalism Trumps Partisanship: Lessons Learned on How We Continually Update Our Practice of Objectivity as Analysts for this year’s West Coast Security Conference. The key points discussed were how legal standards for intelligence tradecraft were instituted in the following the 9/11 attacks and flawed WMD intelligence in Iraq; the enactment of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA) to establish clear, unbiased standards and aid in objectivity; and recent attempts to politicize intelligence, particularly regarding foreign election interference.
