Snowden and the Ethical Dilemma
This chapter critically examines the U.S. intelligence community's condemnation of Edward Snowden for exposing governmental misconduct. The speakers discuss the moral paradox of vilifying whistleblowers while those engaging in unlawful activities evade accountability, particularly during the confirmation hearings for a new director of national intelligence. The debate emphasizes the need for greater transparency in governance and the complexities surrounding the balance between national security and the right to know.
