He tells them that their intelligence was correct, and his was not.
I can reveal that a big announcement is expected in Paris next week - it's likely to be good news for Gary Oldman (or Barry Goldman, as I'm told wags on the set affectionately took to calling him) and for the future of the kind of classy, intelligent movies on which StudioCanal is gambling - if my intelligence is correct, of course.
Assuming that the epidemiological intelligence is correct (i.e. high-risk groups can be predicted from risk factors), for a fixed surveillance investment, targeted surveillance should yield both higher sensitivity and higher positive predictive value than surveillance conducted randomly across the population.

The candidate quoted former Secretary of State Colin Powell reflecting the need to be sure the intelligence was correct, to deploy the right amount of troops and to make sure that an exit strategy was planned.
If the German intelligence was correct, then by striking against vital choke points in London that the RAF would be forced to defend, the Luftwaffe had the opportunity to destroy the remaining RAF fighter forces.
The next possibility is that the traditional investment theory is correct, and crystallized intelligence (e.g., vocabulary, general knowledge) is more cognitively demanding than solving the most complex abstract reasoning tests.
It may be that the intelligence community's estimates are correct, and do not rely on presuming drone victims' guilt.
"I have reason -- every reason -- to believe that the intelligence that we were operating off was correct and that we will, in fact, find weapons or evidence of weapons programs that are conclusive," he said.
Perhaps more disconcerting: if our military and intelligence sources are correct now, and al-Baghdadi was a real threat who has been eliminated, how could they have been so wrong two and a half years ago, when they said he was no more than a comic-book villain — a propaganda device?
