| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Today, as often in the past, the United States Intelligence Community (IC) continues to be a target of criticism for activities—interrogations and renditions—that appear to shock the conscience of many in the public as well as for developing surveillance capabilities that could violate the civil liberties of United States residents. Intelligence agencies are often portrayed as undermining the larger values of American society, pervaded by law-breaking and incompetence, and making only incidental contributions to the national security. Much of the academic literature on intelligence is narrowly focused on intelligence “revelations,” organizational histories of particular agencies, and on biographies of significant spies. |
