transparency in intelligence

Transparency in intelligence refers to the practice of openly sharing information, processes, and decision-making criteria with appropriate oversight and accountability. It allows stakeholders, including the public and government officials, to understand how intelligence is gathered, analyzed, and used. This openness helps build trust, ensures ethical standards are maintained, and reduces risks of abuse or misconduct. While some sensitive details are kept confidential for security reasons, transparency aims to provide clarity about the methods and principles guiding intelligence activities, fostering responsible oversight and informed discussions about national security.
