General term for national intelligence

Intelligence (espionage) doesn't work well, as espionage is a form of HUMINT. Here is a hierarchy that I developed at Wikipedia:

Intelligence cycle management

Intelligence collection management
SIGINT
Electro-optical MASINT
Nuclear MASINT
Geophysical MASINT
Radar MASINT should true imaging radar move to IMINT?
Radiofrequency MASINT
Materials MASINT
HUMINT
Clandestine HUMINT strong tie-in with counterintelligence
Special reconnaissance also a special operations technique
Special reconnaissance organizations
Clandestine HUMINT operational techniques
Clandestine HUMINT asset recruiting
Clandestine HUMINT and Covert Action (also see Direct action (military))
Clandestine cell system
OSINT$
TECHINT$ (the article exists, but has expanded, not necessarily cleanly, into national-level scientific and technical intelligence (S&TI) and economic intelligence. With the latter two, as with TECHINT, the problem is that they have aspects of both collection and analysis. I think they are more analysis, but haven't decided a good way to describe their collection requirements
medical intelligence (if it doesn't go under intelligence organizations) As for TECHINT, there are collection and analysis aspects.
IMINT$
Should imaging radar move here, but not, for example, tracking radar used to determine missile performance? Anything from electro-optical MASINT? My basic rule: IMINT forms pictures, quasi-imaging MASINT gives graphs or property-by-pixel tables'
Intelligence analysis management
Intelligence analysis
Cognitive traps for intelligence analysis
US intelligence community A-Space
financial intelligence
economic intelligence
medical intelligence
Intelligence dissemination management
Intelligence cycle security
Counterintelligence
Counterintelligence failures*
Counter-intelligence and counterterror organizations

Discussion of hierarchy

Currently, the only subset of Intelligence cycle management is Intelligence collection management. Shouldn't these be combined into one heading? Or is there more to come? Forget that last comment, I missread the hierarchy Chris Day 11:10, 1 May 2008 (CDT)

I'm no expert here but is Intelligence cycle security really a subset of Intelligence cycle management? Or should they both be at the same level?
