Read/review the following resources for this activity:

Introduction
Covert Actions are secret by definition but given the resources required and impact on national security, it seems problematic not to have accountability.  However, accountability cannot occur with complete secrecy.  

Initial Post
Using the categories in chapter 8, correlate that information to what you may find in a newspaper or journal article and analyze the successes or mistakes of an unclassified account of counterintelligence. Use the chapter information to make your points. 

Secondary Posts
Read postings provided by your instructor or fellow students. Read and respond to the conclusions drawn by your classmates. Remember to read the feedback to your own major postings and reply throughout the week. 

Writing Requirements

• In addition to one initial post, respond to at least two peers.
• Initial Post Length: minimum of 250 words
• Secondary Post Length: minimum of 200 words per post
• Using APA format, provide at least one citation with corresponding references page and use appropriate in-text citation(s) referring to the academic concept for the initial post. 

Grading and Assessment
Meeting the minimum number of posting does not guarantee an A; you must present an in-depth discussion of high quality, integrate sources to support your assertions, and refer to peers’ comments in your secondary posts to build on concepts. 

This activity will be graded using the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric.
