"This report looks at the separate roles and missions and distinct identities of intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Coordinating their efforts has raised significant legal and administrative difficulties that have been only partially overcome.... This report also addresses congressional oversight of the law enforcement-intelligence relationship that is spread among a number of House and Senate committees, each of which has only partial jurisdiction."

Since the end of the Cold War, law enforcement and intelligence communities "find themselves working on the same issues in the same areas of the world." This is a significant change from the past, and creates several issues by "the blurring of boundaries between the intelligence community and law enforcement."

"This report ... examin[es] how state and local law enforcement agencies conducted and supported counterterrorism intelligence activities after 9/11. It analyzes data from a 2002 survey of law enforcement preparedness in the context of intelligence and reports the results of case studies showing how eight local law enforcement agencies handle intelligence operations. Finally, it suggests ways that the job of gathering and analyzing intelligence might best be shared among federal, state, and local agencies."

4. Executive Privilege
Fisher, Louis. "Congressional Access to National Security Information." Harvard Journal on Legislation 45, no. 1 (Winter 2008): 219-235.
From abstract: "Recent presidential administrations have invoked a broad executive privilege to justify withholding national security information from Congress and the courts. This Article argues that such a broad claim of privilege rests on a mischaracterization of the President's constitutional role. The author ... argues that Congress must have access to this information to effectively exercise its own powers with regard to war and national security. The Article proposes that Congress enact legislation giving the Judiciary access to this information so that it can properly enforce the separation of powers and vindicate individual rights."

Prados, I&NS 23.3 (Jun. 2008), declares that "[t]here is no study with comparable depth and dexterity on the whole question of the state secrets doctrine." The author's analysis of United States v. Reynolds (decided by the Supreme Court in 1953) "is exhaustive to a fault, but the result is quite valuable.... This book will be fascinating for legal scholars but a tough read for the rest of us."
Liptak, Adam. "Appeals Court Upholds Dismissal of Abuse Suit." New York Times, 3 Mar. 2007. [http://www.nytimes.com]
On 2 March 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that Khaled el-Masri, a German citizen of Lebanese descent who alleges kidnapping and abuse by the CIA, "cannot seek redress in court because his lawsuit would expose state secrets." The opinion was written by Judge Robert B. King for the court's unanimous three-judge panel.
