I repeat. Intel would be the largest cost. Second best is Most expensive. That's true for doctors, lawyers, and spooks (and PBI).

Well, if the intel product offered gratis by Uncle Sam were insufficient, then you'd be on your own. Probably want to hook-up with meta's idea of private venture capital, and go after significant targets, i.e. $3 mil in private capital for intel to bring in a $10 million-bounty UAE sheik who's funneling cash to Bin Laden (for example). The investors get double their money back ($6 mil), the team clears the net $4 mil as a labor cost (again, just as an example).
