Dave,

As you and many readers surely already know, the
National Intelligence Council has prepared a report
entitled, "Mapping the Global Future".  It is the
consensus of a group of non-governmental specialists
considering the next 15 years and is a result of the
NIC's Project 2020.  It describes four potential
scenarios for 2020: Davos World, Pax Americana, A New
Caliphate, and Cycle of Fear.

The report is well-written and very thought-provoking.
 The latter is its purpose and the general public is
welcome.  It took more than a year to write and
involved over a thousand people from all over the
globe.

Regardless of anyone's specific political bias, they
should find this report very useful.  It pulls
together a great deal of information and opinion on a
very broad topic: the future of humanity.

Anyone interested can download a PDF of the 123-page
report (6.7M) at our site at
http://www.futurebrief.com/project2020.pdf if they
like.  

In addition, the NIC has also created a website where
individuals can create their own models of the future
at http://ifsmodel.org/.  I haven't had the chance to
work with this yet, but it looked really fascinating.
However, their site is getting hit with a lot of
traffic and it can be hard to get in at the moment, so
patience is necessary.
