Constitution Day Lecture on National Security Secrecy
“There have been more prosecutions for leaks in the first two years of the Obama administration than there have been in all previous presidencies combined,” says Gabriel Schoenfeld, author of the recent Necessary Secrets: National Security, the Media, and the Rule of Law. While the Constitution protects freedom of speech and of the press, Schoenfeld argues, transparency sometimes conflicts with the Constitutional expectation that government “provide for our common defense.”
