DESCRIPTION:Outsourcing has become par for the course in business and increasingly in 
 government intelligence gathering as well. In recent years, intelligence 
 contracting has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry, with 
 privatization often blurring the lines between public and private sectors. 
 Examples of private contractors can be found in places like Abu Ghraib, and 
 in American intelligence centers throughout the world. Similarly, former 
 high-ranking national security officials can be found in various consulting 
 roles throughout the private sector intelligence industry. Yet, the size, 
 scope, and influence of this intelligence outsourcing has been largely 
 unexamined, and sometimes at odds with congressional oversight and public 
 accountability. Join the Council for a conversation with investigative 
 journalist Tim Shorrock as he discusses this topic in depth in his new 
 book, Spies for Hire.\n\nSpeaker:  Tim Shorrock, Investigative Journalist\n
