Overt Action Podcast

This is the third and final part of our look at the Freedom Act, where we discuss how the law is likely to affect the operations of the intelligence community and whether Americans can expect more privacy. There are clear trade-offs. Looking ahead, if the US is attacked again, will our government over-react and pass new laws much more intrusive than the Freedom Act?

In Part 2, we look at the politics behind the passage of the 2015 USA Freedom Act and argue that despite a few (serious) hiccups, this bill represents the better parts of our democracy--and that our government can come together and compromise.

In Part 1 of this Overt Action podcast, we talk about the 2015 USA Freedom Act, how it reforms US intelligence, and whether it gives Americans more privacy

This first OvertAction podcast discusses how making predictions in intelligence analysis is integral and necessary, and also fraught with risk and potentially devastating consequences. www.overtaction.org
