You don't gather intelligence, you gather data. You use intelligence to analyze the data and decide what to do with it. (Okay, you should do that.) To talk about "the latest intelligence on Iraqi weapons capabilities" makes no sense.

Now that I've thought about this some -- I noticed it a while ago, but didn't attach too much significance -- I'm probably going to notice how badly it skews our interpretation of public statements from those in the "intelligence community".
