State secrecy is vital for national security, but it can also be used to conceal wrongdoing. How then can we ensure that this power is used responsibly? Typically, the onus is put on lawmakers and judges, who are expected to oversee the executive. Yet because these actors lack access to the relevant information and the ability to determine the harm likely to be caused by its disclosure, they often defer to the executive's claims about the need for secrecy. As a result, potential abuses are more often exposed by unauthorized disclosures published in the press. But should such disclosures, which violate the law, be condoned? -- Publisher website. 650 0 $a Official secrets. 650 0 $a Leaks (Disclosure of information) 650 0 $a Whistle blowing $x Political aspects. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / Executive Branch. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / International Security. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211015544.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826081738.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20160331011549.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20150110014130.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D257A704776911E3809E827FDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
