Write Right: Opening the Traffic Fairy’s Packages

SUMMARY

When writing reports, just because several different pieces of intelligence arrived at the same time doesn't mean they're all relevant to customers. It's important to only include important details and not assume connections exist where they don't. "Don't assume that SIGINT reporting is like one of those competitions wherein chefs are handed a bag of groceries and required to use each ingredient in the resulting dish. Your customers don't want to find, for instance, anchovies in their ice cream."
