If information and knowledge are central to democracy they are conditions for development.

The hypothesis may be put forward to be tested by the s subsequent investigation that this development has been in large part a matter of the reciprocal interaction of new factual insights and knowledge on the one hand with changes in the theoretical system on the other.

It is probably safe to say that all the changes of factual knowledge which have led to the relativity theory resulting in a very great theoretical development are completely trivial from any point of view except their relevance to the structure of a theoretical system.

From all this it follows what the general character of the problem of the development of a body of scientific knowledge is in so far as it depends on elements internal to science itself.

I am conscious of my inability to grasp in all its details and positive developments any very large portion of human knowledge.

It is remarkable how many misconceptions there are here about life in the developing world and I think that that knowledge gap has done a lot to contribute to the imbalance quite frankly.

We must develop knowledge optimization initiatives to leverage our key learnings.

The plan we developed to deal with al Qaeda depended on developing sources of human and technical intelligence that could give us insights into his plans at the tactical level. This is easy to say but hard to accomplish.

We worked to develop our own operations to advance U.S. counterterrorism objectives by penetrating terrorist safe havens and collecting intelligence that would inform policy and enable our own operations.

The 9/11 Commission strongly recommends that the National Intelligence Director be fully in control of the budget from developing it to implementing it to ensuring that the National Intelligence Director has the clout to make decisions.
