William R. Johnson, “Clandestinity and Current Intelligence” Studies in Intelligence, Vol. 20, No. 3 Fall 1976.  pp. 19-20 defines espionage as follows:

Espionage is the theft of information in contravention of another nation’s laws by a person known as an “agent.” This act of theft may be direct, as in the secret copying of a classified document, or indirect, as in the hiding of an eavesdropping device, or merely oral, but it is done by an agent and it breaks either a foreign law or the internal regulations of an alien organization.

Espionage is not the confidential purchase of information where mere embarrassment, rather than illegality is risked. It is not the flattery, bribery, or coercion of a person to influence his actions within legal limits. It is not “a scuttling, violence-prone business…incompatible with democracy,” but rather a silent, surreptitious, violence-shunning business serving the nation.

 

INTELLIGENCE is information that meets the stated or understood needs of policy makers and has been collected, refined and narrowed to meet those needs.

All intelligence is information. Not all information is intelligence.



INTELLIGENCE PROCESS:

1.     Identifying requirements and targeting -- tasking;

2.     Collection of information;

3.     Processing and Exploitation;

4.     Analysis and Production of Intelligence;

5.     Reporting and Dissemination

 

COUNTER-ESPIONAGE:

That branch of espionage of which the target is an alien organization which uses conspiratorial methods, whether as part of a foreign government or of some non-national or international group, and whether against the United States or against another entity.  Counterespionage is, therefore, also the theft of information by one’s agent, who will in this circumstance usually be called a double agent or a penetration, depending upon the status (agent or officer) he holds in the enemy apparatus

Counterespionage is a branch of counterintelligence, a system of disciplines mainly involving investigation and detection aimed at frustrating active efforts of alien conspiratorial organizations to acquire secrets or sensitive information.

NATIONAL CLANDESTINE SERVICE (NCS) (formerly DO):

Operates as the clandestine arm of the CIA, and serves as the national authority for the coordination, deconfliction, and evaluation of clandestine human intelligence operations across the Intelligence Community. The NCS supports our country's security and foreign policy interests by conducting clandestine activities to collect information that is not obtainable through other means. The NCS also conducts counterintelligence and special activities as authorized by the President.
