POL 468 US Counterintelligence Operations and Controversies
Counterintelligence is more than capturing enemy spies: it seeks to thwart the operations of hostile intelligence services. This course examines the vital role this discipline plays in supporting intelligence and national security in the United States and the difficulty of balancing good counterintelligence policy with the rights and liberties secured under the American Constitution. Students will study the place of counterintelligence in American governance, the major actors and institutions involved, and the laws, regulations and customs under which it operates through a consideration of the major events and controversies in the evolution of the US intelligence Community.
