U.S. spy agencies may start hunting wildlife poachers in Africa; they are 'like terrorist networks'
U.S. intelligence agencies are considering whether to provide information, analysis and possibly tactical lessons to African governments about how to attack wildlife poaching networks, according to a top official.
"We are looking for opportunities" where "we can contribute," Terrance Ford, the national intelligence manager for Africa in the office of Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, said in an interview last week.
"We haven't settled on" the next opportunity, but "it's an issue of where we can make a difference," Ford said after speaking to an intelligence conference in Washington. "We have a role to play in this, so we are trying to do that."
Infrared and photographic imagery from satellites and other data could help locate and track herds of animals and bands of poachers, and wildlife rangers would benefit from better equipment and by adapting some of the techniques, tactics and procedures used by military intelligence officers, said Ford and other U.S. officials.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
I have loved justice and hated iniquity: therefore I die in exile.
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
When the white man came we had the land and they had the bibles; now they have the land and we have the bibles.
