During much of the Cold War, the typical American spy -- spy for the enemy, that is -- was a single, native-born, high-school- educated white male in his 20s, employed by a branch of the military and with top-secret security clearance. Most of the time, he volunteered at a Soviet embassy or consulate and (at least since the early 1960s) was primarily motivated to spy by a desire for money rather than by ideological conviction. He usually would get away with it for at least a year or so before being caught, and then he would receive an average prison sentence of 20 years to life.
After eight months of delays and obstruction, and after a great deal of effort both on his part and mine, I was finally allowed to meet Al-Ghizzawi at the "gulag." My briefcase and papers were examined in a cursory way. (On later trips, these searches resulted in letters to my client being confiscated on the grounds that they made oblique reference to "world events.") I was then ushered by my escort behind a chainlink fence, through three gates into a sweltering cinderblock hut at Camp Echo. I was a little nervous going into that first meeting. I knew little about Al Ghizzawi and it seemed plausible to me that he might be the "worst of the worst"-which is what our government claims [Guant]ánamo is holding. However, when I entered the tiny windowless room, I met a frail, bearded, jaundic...

Having served in the military for 21 years, I've had a background check in order to obtain top secret clearance. That clearance needed updating every two to five years. I wonder why our elected officials are not required to have the same processing prior to being given access to classified information? With drug checks and background checks being required in the workplace as routine, why are they not also required of politicians? Surely they have as much impact on security and safety as any truck driver, professional athlete or schoolteacher.

For most people, the process of applying for and obtaining a Confidential, Secret or Top Secret security clearance is shrouded in mystery. But with the ramp-up by companies providing services to the U.S. military's Northern Command, the Department of Homeland Security, the North American Air Defense Command, Air Force Space Command and local military bases, an increasing number of Pikes Peak region job candidates are applying for positions requiring an official cleared status.
Twenty-one years ago Michael W. McConnell was an up-and-coming professor at the University of Chicago Law School writing a complicated article about the legal meaning of "free exercise of religion" for the Harvard Law Review. During the revision process a law review student editor left such an impression on McConnell that he convinced Chicago Law School to grant the student a faculty fellowship upon graduation. He was an unusually good editor," McConnell recalls. "He entered into the project in a way that I think helped me to make it a better article from the point of view of what I wanted it to be. He had some very intelligent organizational suggestions and was just very impressive.
