Abstract:
|
Despite a number of flaws examined in this paper, the American system of intelligence oversight is robust and represents a dramatic improvement over the relative absence of meaningful accountability before major intelligence investigations in the United States in 1975 established Senate and House review committees. These committees are independent from the executive branch and have a capacity to actively probe intelligence programs, including the power to subpoena any information they seek and to demand prior notice of important intelligence activities. |
