Manget, Fred F. "Another System of Oversight: Intelligence and the Rise of Judicial Intervention." Studies in Intelligence 39, no. 5 (1996): 43-50.
"In effect, the judicial review of issues touching on intelligence matters has developed into a system of oversight.... Congressional inroads on all types of executive branch foreign affairs powers ... increased in the 1970s." Judicial oversight exists "in effective and powerful ways that go far beyond the conventional wisdom that national security is a cloak hiding intelligence activities from the Federal judiciary.... Federal judges are the essential third part of the oversight system in the United States, matching requirements of the laws to intelligence activities and watching the watchers."

A Better Way of Dealing with the Wrongful Appropriation of Classified Government
Secrets?" International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence
4, no. 1 (Spring 1990): 23-37.
"[U]nder recent developments in intellectual property law, the government may also [in addition to the available criminal legal sanctions against a government employee who makes an unauthorized disclosure of government secrets] have legal recourse against the person who receives and uses classified information without authorization. Legal sanctions are available through the use of well-recognized principles of the civil law of wrongs which are called torts.... The consistent principle in modern intellectual property law is that profits of infringement should be forfeited, especially in the case of intentional infringement."

Commenting on the second edition of this work, Henseler, NWCR 59.1 (Winter 2006), finds that the editors "have gone to great lengths to create ... an up-to-date casebook that covers not only the fundamentals of national security law but also new areas in the law that are burgeoning as we enter the twenty-first century.... Most notably, they place a clear emphasis on national security issues that have arisen in the postCold War era.... Moore and Turner have succeeded in producing a comprehensive, well organized, extremely well written casebook filled with seminal cases, insightful commentary, and stimulating questions for discussion."

From publisher: This "companion volume to the casebook National Security Law ... brings together a wealth of documents ranging from ... George Washingtons Farewell Address and George Kennans Long Telegram to important international conventions, domestic laws, executive orders, and departmental regulations on such matters as FBI counter-terrorism investigations and State Department treaty procedures."

Jeffrey Sterling, a former CIA operations officer, "has sued the agency [Sterling v. Central Intelligence Agency, No. 03-CV-603 (D.D.C. March 4)], alleging violation of his First Amendment right to publish. Sterling charges that the CIA has improperly made rulings relating to his memoirs, which he was required to submit to the agency for approval.... Sterling's suit seeks only declaratory and injunctive relief, asking the court to establish that he has a First Amendment right to publish his memoirs and to prohibit the agency from bringing criminal or civil legal proceedings against him."

According to U.S. District Judge I. Leo Glasser, in Kielczynski v. United States Central Intelligence Agency, 00 CV 539, "secret information agreements to which a United States government agency is a party cannot be enforced in the courts for public policy reasons. Judge Glasser explained that the need for confidentiality in the exchange of secret information justifies a broad exclusion of these cases from the courts."
