Sherman Kent was a senior CIA intelligence analyst who headed the Office of National Estimates from January 1952 to December 1967.[1]
Abram Shulsky and Gary Schmitt have criticised a view of intelligence as social science which they attribute to Kent:
Shulsky and Schmitt's interpretation of Kent's views has been strongly criticised by David Habakkuk.[3][4]
