520    "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."--|cProvided by publisher.
520    "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"--
