Everytime I read this thread title, I am reminded of the biggest problem the Brits faced in the Falklands War and that we faced in Gul War 1: there was so much intel, it was hard to process it and ended up confusing the situation instead of clarifying it.

In gathering info for the Haitian Invasion, we were given specific questions to get answered and that helped eliminate the clutter that would have confused the planners.
