Introducing issues with opposing viewpoints

Summary

"Experts often disagree about how much and what kind of intelligence should be considered classified. In addition, there can be benefits to leaking intelligence, a practice that is done by insiders with some regularity. Do citizens have a right to know about all government activities, or is security of higher value? What happens when leaks affect the safety of journalists and diplomats around the world? Who decides when a leaker is a "whistleblower" or a "traitor"? Readers of this captivating volume will learn about the issue from a diverse array of viewpoints"--, Provided by publisher
