The intelligence community was admonished for its lack of information sharing before the Sept. 11 attacks, but interagency collaboration has "come a long way since 9-11," said Gen. Howie Chandler, retired Air Force vice chief of staff.
Information sharing was key in the weekend operation that led to the death of Osama bin Laden.
"The military is very methodical on analyzing the information we're given and our ability to plan for an operation like this," Chandler said.
Steve Cooper, former chief information officer of the Department of Homeland Security and current CIO of the Air Traffic Organization at the Federal Aviation Administration, agreed that information sharing played an important role in the operation's success.
"I am firmly convinced that that has been instrumental in achieving this victory over the weekend," Cooper said. "I believe it serves as an example of what is possible when we all collaborate and work together."
