It was on this basis that Bush and Blair decided to go to war, ensuring that arguments both for and against will go on beyond our own generation. This title discusses the gathering of intelligence by the Secret Services.
The gathering of information by the Intelligence Services is now an issue of major importance in the modern world. But what are the ethical responsibilities of these bodies.
