Summary: Intelligence agencies provide a vital shield against threats from abroad and at home, indeed, the first line of defense, according to a number of U.S. presidents. Yet, they can also pose a danger to democracy because of their secrecy and their awesome powers of surveillance. More than once, intelligence agencies even in robust democracies have been found in violation of civil liberties. To protect the people against the misuse of secret power, nations—and particularly the United States—have adopted measures to guard against illegal activities by their intelligence services.
