Public Accountability? CIA has Public Accountability??? Can anyone provide me with an example where the CIA was actually held publicly accountable beyond a Senate hearing where they seem to not know the answers to any of the questions?
I still don't understand why retired CIA employees are even allowed to still have security clearances. If a private employee leaves a job, that employee loses access to the company's private files, so why wouldn't it be the same for ex-CIA employees?
The security clearance doesn’t give you access to CIA files. It just tags you as someone who can be trusted. So on one hand Trump is funding private operations, and at the same time cutting off anyone who is qualified to be employed by those private organizations.
all classified information operates on a "need to know" basis. Just because you hold a security clearance doesn't mean you have any access to that Intel.
Because people who work for government contractors need security clearances to do their jobs. How do you think Lockheed or Boeing employees work on military hardware?
@@sciencecompliance235 This is the trade off to keep the Military Industry Complex tied to US interests.

"Without the public accountability that directors of CIA have"...yeah ok. These orgs are probably at the top when it comes to having power without accountability.
But can you effectively show accountability in secret agencies? I don’t think one can. Trump did not care about disincentives for agents.This is laughable. Trump is a moron.
Yea let’s corporatize our intelligence agencies especially since they are so good at being intelligent and because less oversight which can really hinder an intelligence agency then they can do whatever they want.
There’s already no effective oversight. The last time anyone tried to hold them accountable was Senator Feinstein’s investigation of the CIA torture program. The CIA hacked into the computers of the Chair of the oversight committee to keep on eye on what they were doing. The whole thing is a joke. The NSA has the same shit. Hayden lied to Congress about the NSA spying on literally every single American. He still walks around uncharged.

So, if 'flexible ethics' is required to function in a wider world where unethical behaviour outcompetes ethical, this creates an unvirtuous circle of incentivised unethical competition where, if everyone else is unethical, one has to flex to even more unethical tactics to remain competitive. This is perfectly in line with game theory and the ethics of capitalism, and links with how power corrupts and ends justifying means. And all by shaddowy organisations overseen by politicians supposedly giving oversight in our best interests. But how is this unvirtuous cycle of increasingly unethical behaviour in our interests?

Thats not the point he was making. What he was saying is that the moral flexibility comes in what the person can perceive as "self defense", in order to justify their actions. There's an entire spectrum there between reactive and proactive behavior to threats (real or perceived), and each persons inflection point for when that crosses over into immoral behavior is different. Think of "killing Hitler as a baby" as an example.

The advertising business is founded and thrives on defining and modulating morality and ethics. Needs must be met or advertising fails as a business. A world as it is, currently.
The one thing Andrew is glossing over regarding the revoking of security clearances was the punitive nature in Trump's reasoning for revoking them. He was revoking them from those who were retired and speaking ill of him.
About time someone said that executive power over intelligence organizations is a problem. I’m sick of presidents acting like the good people of the CIA work for them and not the other way around. Preach Brother!
The problem is that when you take away the private industry incentive from senior officials leaving, there's no reason to enter the CIA in the first place. So many CIA employees understand this incentive. After a few decades, you get rewarded with highly paid work in private industry. That incentivizes people to join the CIA and stay in service for decades! This is how public service works. That's why Trump's decision was terrible. And if you think that everyone who enters the CIA and is competent in the CIA is completely satisfied and incentivized by the knowledge that they're doing a service to their country, then you're hopelessly naive.
@@RedTeufel not that much. CIA or Military make peanuts compared to what their civilian counterparts make. Mercenaries in Iraq easily made a few times what soldiers make.
