Uncertainty in intelligence analysis remains an important issue for consideration. Intelligence customers want, and often expect certainty in intelligence products, yet the nature of intelligence production often precludes establishment of such a product. Because of this, intelligence analysts are left to struggle with ways of expressing uncertainty. Imagine you are an analyst tasked with answering the question "will India and Pakistan go to war within the next 12 months?" You've gathered the available information, both intelligence information and open source information. You've done the analysis and reached a conclusion. You've decided, using a variety of analytic techniques, that there is a chance of war, and you have decided that it's a better than even chance, but less than certain. For the sake of discussion, let's say that if you had to express that likelihood in terms of percentages, you'd estimate a 65% chance of war. How would you inform your customer of your conclusions? Would you say "there's a 65% chance?" Or would you refrain from nailing down a specific probability and answer in some other way? Defend your answer.

It was recently announced that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will extend its regulatory authority to E-cigarettes, tobacco pipes, and cigars. They have proposed a ban of these products to those under 18 (in person and Internet sales), those purchasing these products must show identification, a ban on use in public places, and products must include warning labels. The producers of cigars and e-cigarettes must register with the FDA, provide a detailed accounting of their product ingredients, disclose their manufacturing processes and scientific data, and would be subject to FDA inspections. Many have argued that the FDA oversight will close the smaller producers. They argue that innovations to these products will be significantly slowed down due to these regulations. The regulations will also increase their costs--application costs, user fees, creating scientific costs will force the smaller producers to close down or merge with the larger producers (many are the tobacco industry).
