GlobalSecurity.org is a company based out of Alexandria, VA that serves as a hub for security and intelligence news. They are considered one of the leading sources for developing news stories in the intelligence and military communities. The site attracts a large range of users all the way from retired military serviceman to AP reporters. Congressional members working in defense policy even use it as a research tool. A graph from the site shows that GlobalSecurity.org had an average of 15 million monthly page views in 2005. While the site may have a tacky appearance, the staff and senior fellows of GlobalSecurity.org are extremely qualified and credible subject matter experts.

GlobalSecurity.org organizes its content into six different categories: Military, Intelligence, Homeland Security, Space, and the Public Eye. Each section has recent articles about ongoing events, access to government documents, and links to various special interest areas within each category.

On top of providing these breaking news stories, GlobalSecuirty.org is rich in technical reference documents and reports. For example, you can find very reliable and accurate information about the different yields or delivery systems of the US Nuclear arsenal or find a complete overview of the military and intelligence operations throughout the world past or present.

I’ve really become an avid reader of this site over the past few months, and I highly reccommend it to anyone interested in security or intelligence news.
