I frankly cannot imagine what I would have done without her help. I would also like to thank my good friend Iris for the patience she has had with me and the joy she has always transmitted, as well as for reminding me of all the deadlines. She has always been very enthusiastic and has persistently attempted to motivate me. Besides, I am also deeply thankful to Manon, a very close person who has supported and inspired me all this time from Paris. She has equally helped and guided me whenever I have needed it. And finally, I am indebted with all the friends and relatives who have had to hear me talking about this research project for months. -
United States District Court for the District of Columbia
Case 1:10-cv-02119-RMC Document 44 Filed 11/02/12 Page 1 of 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ) ANTHONY SHAFFER, ) ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) Civil Action No. 10-2119 (RMC) ) DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, ) et al., ) ) Defendants. ) ) MEMORANDUM OPINION Plaintiff Anthony Shaffer is an intelligence officer who was employed with the Defense Intelligence Agency, an operational component of the Department of Defense, from 1995-2006. After this, he joined the U.S. Army Reserve and retired as Lieutenant Colonel in 2011. Mr. Shaffer served two tours of duty in Afghanistan. Together with a ghost writer, Mr. Shaffer authored a book entitled Operation Dark Heart: Spycraft and Special Ops on the Frontlines of Afghanistan and the Path to Victory, which he describes as an eyewitness account of the 2003 “tipping point” of the war in Afghanistan. He is required by several secrecy agreements to submit all of his writings for prepublication review to ensure they do not contain classified information. Mr. Shaffer complains that several executive agencies improperly designated certain information in his book as classified and imposed a restraint on his First Amendment right to publish his book. The agencies assert that Mr. Shaffer lacks standing to bring his claim because he sold control of his book to his publisher in the United States; they move to dismiss the Amended Complaint. The motion will be denied. Mr. Shaffer has standing Case 1:10-cv-02119-RMC Document 44 Filed 11/02/12 Page 2 of 8 because he maintains rights to publish an unredacted version of his book and, if the redactions are overbroad, to otherwise “publish” the non-classified information in his book. -
Prepublication Review in the Intelligence Community
TILL DEATH DO US PART: PREPUBLICATION REVIEW IN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY Kevin Casey* As a condition of access to classified information, most employees of the U.S. intelligence community are required to sign nondisclosure agreements that mandate lifetime prepublication review. In essence, these agreements require employees to submit any works that discuss their experiences working in the intelligence community---whether writ- ten or oral, fiction or nonfiction---to their respective agencies and receive approval before seeking publication. Though these agreements constitute an exercise of prior restraint, the Supreme Court has held them constitu- tional. This Note does not argue fororagainsttheconstitutionality of prepublication review; instead, it explores how prepublication review is actually practiced by agencies and concludes that thecurrentsystem, which lacks executive-branch-wide guidance, grants too much discretion to individual agencies. It compares the policies of individual agencies with the experiences of actual authors who have clashed with prepublication-review boards to argue that agencies conduct review in a manner that is inconsistent at best, and downright biased and discriminatory at worst. The level of secrecy shrouding intelligence agencies and the concomitant dearth of publicly available information about their activi- ties make it difcult to evaluate their performance and, by extension, the performance of our electedofcials in overseeing such activities. In such circumstances, memoirs and other forms of expression -

Background of the Study Each person is unique individually, with her problem and different experience in her lives. Many problems exist and could make people uncomfortable, and feel anxious. Each person has a goal to set high and to become successful in all aspects of life. Human beings are individual creatures who have the capability to create, to feel and to need something. These experiences may be about sadness and happiness appearing as phenomenon of life. They need comfortable condition in life, good health, good physical security and freedom from pain. This behavior can occur in daily life, whenever and whatever condition. It proves that human being is creature that has thought and feeling. The composition of their feeling and thought are not static, but changeable. It conforms to their experiences of life. The reaction of human being to threat or act of damaging that is never felt before causes them anxious or afraid. It can be seen in daily life. When students are afraid to fail in examination, they face anxiety because they do not have strong belief and way to solve the problem. If they cannot solve it, they will be frustrated, unsatisfied, sad, disappointed and unrest because of their guilty feeling. In that condition, people feel anxious. -

Reform of the Intelligence Community Publication Review Process
2017] 203 REFORM OF THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY PREPUBLICATION REVIEW PROCESS: BALANCING FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS AND NATIONAL SECURITY INTERESTS Christopher E. Bailey* Over the past 15 years, the American public has seen a spate of current and former intelligence officers publishing memoirs, articles, and academic works regarding U.S. national security and their own experiences working in government. In some respects, this new “cottage industry” has advanced public understanding of the important threats facing the United States and the government’s response to such threats. In other respects, however, these works have also raised a risk that such publications could impair U.S. national security by exposing intelligence sources, methods, and classified activities. Hence, the Director of National Intelligence (“DNI”) should examine the prepublication review process used by various intelligence agencies. In fact, a reform of the intelligence community (“IC”) prepublication review process would help advance U.S. national security while also ensuring minimal impairment of the First Amendment rights of government employees, military personnel, and contractors. * Mr. Christopher E. Bailey is a faculty member at the National Intelligence University specializing in national security law, processes, intelligence ethics, and strategy. He is a 2008 graduate of NIU’s Denial & Deception Advanced Studies Program and the U.S. Army War College. He is licensed to practice law in California and the District of Columbia, and is a member of the National Security Law Committee, American Bar Association. He has LLM degree in National Security & U.S. Foreign Relations Law from the George Washington University School of Law where is he is currently a candidate for the SJD degree. -

Promotional Letter for "Operation Dark Heart" by Tony Shaffer
THOMAS DUNNE BOOKS June 2010 Dear Review/producer: An important and necessary book in understanding our nation's on-going battle in fighting terrorism in Afghanistan employing the military's most extraordinary espionage tactics OPERATION DARK HEART: Spycraft and Special Ops on the Frontlines of Afghanistan - and the Path to Victory follows the journey of Major Tony Shaffer (now Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer) - whose undercover operative name was Chris Stryker - as he faces the surreal, brutal realities of the Afghanistan conflict. He found though, upon returning from combat, that the horrors of war he experienced overseas might well pale in comparison to an even darker conspiracy he observed. It is a conspiracy to conceal the truth behind the greatest mass murder of the 2ls century. Shaffer witnessed first hand the chaos of war up close and its effects on the men and women who served and suffered in battle first during his time as part of espionage operations behind the scenes, and then when he went into the field to help the ground war in Afghanistan where he led the charge to block the insurgency of the Taliban. It was on the ground where Shaffer experienced the flawed policies that top officials relied on. Shaffer and his teams would spin their wheels in Mghanistan all the while knowing the war was winnable by simply crossing the border into Pakistan and crushing the insurgency that seemingly grew leaps and bounds by the day. Shaffer's well-crafted "Operation Dark Heart" was designed to infiltrate Pakistan and take out the bad guys.
