Charney, M.D., a psychiatrist who had the unique experience of interviewing former FBI counterintelligence officer Robert Hanssen in jail, weekly, for approximately two hours per visit, for a year. Dr. Charney did the same with two other incarcerated insider spies: Earl Pitts (former FBI Special Agent revealed as a KGB spy), and Brian Regan (former Air Force\/NRO).\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. Charney's interest was to better understand the minds of spies for the sake of strengthening our national security. Over the eighteen years of his work with these cases, Dr. Charney developed a greater understanding of insider spy psychology and formulated new approaches and fresh proposals for better managing the problem of insider spies.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. Charney's first paper, \"True Psychology of the Insider Spy,\" Part One of his two-part White Paper on insider spies, was published in late 2010 in the AFIO Intelligencer. This paper can be viewed on the NCIX (National Counterintelligence Executive) website.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost Insider Threat management initiatives have been technology driven. While clever and useful up to a point, they are subject to the Law of Diminishing Returns and can backfire by creating a negative, distrustful workplace atmosphere.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA well-motivated insider can defeat nearly any technology-based system. They will always find a way.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy contrast, Dr. Charney's NOIR proposals center on the minds of potential or current insider threats: their psychologies and their inner worlds. The battle must be won there.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNOIR focuses on \"classic\" state-sponsored espionage. However, many of its points are applicable for dealing with Snowden-type threats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNOIR for USA is a 501(c)3 entity to educate the US Intelligence Community, other government components, including the Congress, the courts, responsible journalists, and the general public, about the NOIR concepts and proposals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Charney and his colleagues at NOIR for USA would appreciate any comments, criticisms, or additional thoughts you may have about NOIR concepts and proposals: Contact@NOIR4USA.org\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David L.
