“Direct quoting should be kept to a minimum, less than 15%”. I want to read what you have to say, not what you can copy directly from other sources.

While these questions are asking for your opinions, you must substantiate those opinions with academically sound research, which can and should include assigned class readings. The use of 5 scholarly sources is required.

Include a cover page and a bibliography or reference list depending on citation style.

Answer each of the following in approximately 150 words each:

1. An element of the National Security Act of 1947 stated “…No United States intelligence information may be provided to the United Nations or any organization affiliated with the United Nations…” Briefly defend this position from an ethical (and academic) perspective.

2. For intelligence-gathering purposes, is the torture of terrorists or enemy combatants ever morally acceptable? If the answer is yes, give examples with substantiating support.

3. Explain what you would consider to be a working definition of integrity for an intelligence gathering government agency. What sort of attributes would be absolutes? Give examples of integrity in action in the IC.

4. What sort of conclusion did Kent Pekel come to in his discussion of integrity and ethics at the CIA? What are his recommendations?

5. The ACLU condemned the killing of Anwar Al-Aulaqi as both illegal and unethical, while the AUMF can broadly be determined to support such actions. In the case of Al-Aulaqi, were the US government’s actions ethical?

Paper needs to be simplified and absolutely original! I cant stress that point more.
