One of the most vexing and perennial questions facing any democracy is how to balance the government's legitimate need to conduct its operations-especially those related to protecting the national security-in secret, with the public's right and responsibility to know what its government is doing. There is no easy answer to this issue, and different nations embrace different solutions. In the United States, at the constitutional level, the answer begins exactly half a century ago with the Supreme Court's landmark 1971 decision in the Pentagon Papers case. The final decision, though, left many important questions unresolved. Moreover, the issue of leaks and secrecy has cropped up repeatedly since, most recently in the Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning cases. In National Security, Leaks and Freedom of the Press , two of America's leading First Amendment scholars, Lee C. Bollinger and Geoffrey R. Stone, have gathered a group of the nation's leading constitutional scholars-including John Brennan, Eric Holder, Cass R. Sunstein, and Michael Morell, among many others-to delve into important dimensions of the current system, to explain how we should think about them, and to offer as many solutions as possible.
Lee C. Bollinger is Columbia University's 19th president and the first Seth Low Professor of the University. His recent books include Regardless of Frontiers: Global Freedom of Expression in a Troubled World (2021) and The Free Speech Century (2018). Bollinger co-founded Columbia's Knight First Amendment Institute, devoted to defending speech and press freedoms in the digital age, and established Columbia Global Freedom of Expression, which advances understanding of international normsprotecting free expression. Previously, as president of the University of Michigan, he led the school's litigation in the historic Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger Supreme Court cases, which reasserted that diversity is a compelling justification for affirmative action in higher education. Bollinger is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society. Geoffrey R. Stone is the Edward H. Levi Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago. Mr. Stone is the author or co-author of many books on constitutional law. Among them are Democracy and Equality: The Enduring Constitutional Vision of the Warren Court (2020), The Free Speech Century (2018); Sex and the Constitution (2017); Top Secret: When Government Keeps Us In the Dark (2007); and Perilous Times: Free Speech in Wartime (2004). In 2013, President Obama appointed Mr. Stone to serve on a five-member Review Group on National Security Intelligence in the wake of Edward Snowden's leaks about the NSA. The result was The NSA Report, which included 46 recommendations for improving the nation's foreign intelligence programs, many of which have been adopted and put into place. Thereafter, Mr. Stone served as a Senior Advisor to the Director of National Intelligence.
