Address the following criteria in your paper:
1. Explain the intelligence cycle and the structure of the intelligence community in the United States.
2. Examine some of the existing problems in counter-terrorism intelligence in the United States.
3. Analyze the impact intelligence gathering has on preparing for terrorism in the United States.
