| Description |
This course treats intelligence and constitutional issues essential to evaluate controversies in national security and civil liberties in a democracy. We examine tensions through history, statute, technology, public opinion, the media and current events. Can we implement effective security and not adversely impact our constitutional rights? What is the "correct" relationship between intelligence and law enforcement? Should information be shared and/or protected? Technology threatens or protects? Is post 9/11 reform on track? You decide if government is making the right choices "for the country and individuals" based on this critical material. |
