Backroom deals in our backyards : how government secrecy harms our communities and the local heroes fighting back / by Spivack, Miranda S.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Hiding in plain sight -- Small town, big secrets -- Public roads, hidden dangers -- The safety gear detective -- Toxic brew, concealed deals -- Chipping away at the new blue wall -- Playbook for accidental activists -- Conclusion: We can overcome the threat to democracy that secrecy poses."A work of investigative reporting on five "accidental activists" who fight back against local and state governments to keep their communities safe. Most Americans are likely to encounter the effects of government malfeasance or neglect close to home-from their governors, mayors, town councils, school boards, police, and prosecutors. In fact, deals shrouded in darkness are regularly made at the state and local levels, often the result of closed-door discussions between governments and industry without any scrutiny whatsoever from the public. Too often, as this groundbreaking new work of investigative reporting reveals, residents are intentionally kept on the outside, struggling to get information about significant issues affecting their communities-from car crashes and dirty drinking water, to failing safety gear-until the backroom deals are done and it's too late to challenge them. A work of riveting narrative nonfiction based on years of original reporting, Backroom Deals in Our Backyards tells the story of five "accidental activists"-people from across the United States who started questioning why their local and state governments didn't protect them from issues facing their communities and why there was a frightening lack of transparency surrounding the way these issues were resolved. The secret deals, lies, and corruption they uncover shake their faith in government but move them to action."--

The declassification engine : what history reveals about America's top secrets / by Connelly, Matthew,1967-author.(CARDINAL)687331;
"A captivating study of US state secrecy that examines how officials use it to hoard power and prevent meaningful public oversight The United States was founded on the promise of a transparent government, but time and again we have abandoned the ideals ofour open republic. In recent history, we have permitted ourselves to engage in costly wars, opened ourselves to preventable attacks, and ceded unaccountable power to officials both elected and unelected. Secrecy may now be an integral policy to preserving the American way of life, but its true costs have gone unacknowledged for too long. Using the latest techniques in data science, historian Matthew Connelly analyzes the millions of state documents both accessible to the public and still under review tounearth not only what the government does not want us to know, but what it says about the very authority we bequeath to our leaders. By culling this research and carefully studying a series of pivotal moments in recent history from Pearl Harbor to drone strikes, Connelly sheds light on the drivers of state secrecy-especially consolidating power or hiding incompetence-and how the classification of documents has become untenable. What results is an astonishing study of power: of the greed that develops outof its possession, of the negligence that it protects, and of what we lose as citizens when it remains unchecked. A crucial examination of the self-defeating nature of secrecy and the dire state of our nation's archives, The Declassification Engine is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving the past so that we may secure our future."--Includes bibliographical references (pages 407-502) and index.Pearl Harbor: The original secret -- The bomb: born secret -- Code making and code breaking: the secret of secrets -- The military-industrial complex: the dirty secret of civil-military relations -- Surveillance: other people's secrets -- Weird science: secrets that are stranger than fiction -- Following the money: trade secrets -- Spin: the flipside of secrecy -- There is no there there: the best kept secret -- Deleting the archive: the ultimate secret.

Spy watching : intelligence accountability in the United States / by Johnson, Loch K.,1942-author.(CARDINAL)169074;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Democracy and intelligence -- Part I: The magnitude of the challenge -- Tracking an elusive behemoth -- Intelligence exceptionalism -- Part II: The evolution of intelligence accountability -- CDemocracy comes to the secret agencies -- The experiment in intelligence accountability begins -- Spy watching in an age of terror -- Part III: The patterns of intelligence accountability -- A shock theory of intelligence accountability -- The media and intelligence accountability -- Ostriches, cheerleaders, lemon-suckers, and guardians -- Part IV: The practice of intelligence accountability -- In the trenches: collection and analysis, covert action -- In the wilderness: coping with counterintelligence -- Part V: The future of intelligence accountability -- Intelligence accountability and the nation's spy chiefs -- The ongoing quest for liberty and security -- Epilogue: Intelligence in the early Trump administration -- Appendix A: The organization of the U.S. intelligence community, 2017 -- Appendix B: U.S. intelligence leadership, 1946-2017 -- Appendix C: The Intelligence Oversight Act of 1980."All democracies have had to contend with the challenge of tolerating hidden spy services within otherwise relatively transparent governments. Democracies pride themselves on privacy and liberty, but intelligence organizations have secret budgets, gather information surreptitiously around the world, and plan covert action against foreign regimes. Sometimes, they have even targeted the very citizens they were established to protect, as with the COINTELPRO operations in the 1960s and 1970s, carried out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) against civil rights and antiwar activists. In this sense, democracy and intelligence have always been a poor match. Yet Americans live in an uncertain and threatening world filled with nuclear warheads, chemical and biological weapons, and terrorists intent on destruction. Without an intelligence apparatus scanning the globe to alert the United States to these threats, the planet would be an even more perilous place. In Spy Watching, Loch K. Johnson explores the United States' travails in its efforts to maintain effective accountability over its spy services. Johnson explores the work of the famous Church Committee, a Senate panel that investigated America's espionage organizations in 1975 and established new protocol for supervising the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the nation's other sixteen secret services. Johnson explores why partisanship has crept into once-neutral intelligence operations, the effect of the 9/11 attacks on the expansion of spying, and the controversies related to CIA rendition and torture programs. He also discusses both the Edward Snowden case and the ongoing investigations into the Russian hack of the 2016 US election. Above all, Spy Watching seeks to find a sensible balance between the twin imperatives in a democracy of liberty and security. Johnson draws on scores of interviews with Directors of Central Intelligence and others in America's secret agencies, making this a uniquely authoritative account."--"Given the dangers in the world--from terrorism to pandemics--nations must have effective spy services; yet, to prevent the misuse of secret power, democracies must also ensure that their spies are well supervised. This book focuses on the obstacles encountered by America as it pursues more effective intelligence accountability"--
