Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
In recent years there have been numerous news stories based on
leaked information. The intelligence community has become risk
averse. Politicians are using sensitive information to fight
battles on Capitol Hill. Congress and the intelligence community
need to find a balance between secrecy and oversight. A culture
against leaks needs to be nurtured and strong protections
implemented; however, these must take place in the context of
strong oversight mechanisms.
