INTELLIGENCE DISCLOSURE
HMLS-3500-10
Summer 2020 Final Assessment
This assessment is worth 30 points. You have until 9pm on 05 August 2020 to answer the question. Email your answers to ccogan@tulane.edu .
The final assessment is electronic and “open-book”. I expect very substantial, well-written paragraphs in traditional essay format (introduction, body paragraphs and conclusions). Your conclusions must be well developed and supported by facts and evidence presented in the body paragraphs of your essay. No citations are required.
As mentioned above, this assessment is OPEN BOOK. I expect that everyone will complete this mid-term assessment with academic honesty and integrity in accordance with the Tulane University Honor Code: http://college.tulane.edu/honorcode.htm
Final Exam Question:
Discuss the impact of the high-profile cases of unauthorized intelligence disclosure (PFC Chelsea Manning and/or Edward Snowden)” on U.S. intelligence collection efforts, foreign policy, and national security. Include your stance on whether these disclosures serve as necessary oversight to the U.S. government. (Must 1: briefly describe the case(s), 2: detail how each potentially impacted the following: a. collection efforts, b. foreign policy, and c. national security (with examples), and 3: briefly discuss whether or not these disclosures are needed oversight to U.S. government intelligence activities)
