COMPREENSÃO DE TEXTO UnB / CESPE – ABIN – Concurso Público – 19/9/2004 Cargo: Analista de Informações – Código 1 Nos itens de 111 a 120, a seguir, são avaliados conhecimentos em língua inglesa. 1 The pre-Iraq war and pre-9/11 performance of some secret services is subject to harsh criticism and, in some countries, various investigations. Governments are accused 4 to have taken essential decisions based upon dubious information. The different agencies are blamed for inter- and intraagency rivalry blocking the efficiency of any early 7 warning system. In addition, they are heavily criticized for delivering the message their political masters wanted to hear. 10 We do not want to blame anybody. But we believe that it is necessary to rethink the whole business of secret services. 13 Without knowing the details that obviously led to serious deficiencies, there are several fundamental problems with the work of secret services in open, democratic societies. In 16 democracies, there is often a basic mistrust towards intelligence gathering. It seems to be a dirty job. Democracy asks for openness and transparency. 19 People in democracies do not like the work in a shadow. Scientists and journalists refrain in general from cooperation with secret services. They are afraid to destroy their access to foreign countries and colleagues. Recruitment of qualified young people has become difficult. Dieter Farwick.

COMPREENSÃO DE TEXTO UnB / CESPE – ABIN – Concurso Público –19/9/2004 Cargo: Pesquisador, Classe Assistente de Pesquisa, Padrão I – Código 12 A former head of German counter-intelligence recently confided: 3 “The best piece of intelligence is the one that only I possess.” That spymaster’s emphasis on exclusivity and with holding information even from his friends is, alas, the watchword among intelligence chiefs worldwide. 7 And it threatens to undermine efforts to globalize the hunt for terrorists and their bad works. Timely and credible intelligence — often the merest scrap — can be as decisive in foiling1 terrorist plotting as any police action, cruise missile, or bomb. That’s why the American Congress and the White House are focused on improving information sharing between the CIA and FBI. But the debate has so far overlooked another chronic intelligence failure: the inadequacy of the CIA’s liaison with other intelligence services. One reason for urgent reform is that even though the United States far outstrips other countries in its technical intelligence gathering, many other nations often have better human intelligence, or humint — real live spies. 1foil – to prevent (someone or something) from being successful. Robert Gerald Livingston. Internet: <http://www.ndol.org/ndol_ci.cfm?kaid= 450004&subid=900020&contentid=250680> (with adaptations). Based on the text, judge the following items. 111 The best piece of information is not supposed to be available to anyone. C 112 The word “one” (R.3) is a numeral. E 113 Chiefs agree to the principle that intelligence can only be passed on to some special friends all over the world. E 114 The word “threatens” (R.7) can be correctly replaced by menaces. C 115 Believable and opportune intelligence can decisively replace the action of the police, even cruise missiles, and bombs. C 116 The CIA and FBI are yet to establish a process of information interchange. E 117 The USA surpasses other countries in terms of technical intelligence collection. C
