  What Texas Lawmakers Really Achieved for Women

  What Texas Lawmakers Really Achieved for Women

  In the first part of the 21st century

  the complicated relationship between transparency and\nsecurity reached a boiling point with revelations of extra-judicial CIA activities

  near universal NSA\nmonitoring and unprecedented whistleblowing – and prosecution of whistleblowers under the\nEspionage Act. This article examines the dual necessities of security (specifically

  the Intelligence\nCommunity) and transparency (specifically

  the Fourth Estate or media) for any democracy

  and\nthe manner in which whistleblowers radically saddle this Janus-faced relationship. Then I will move\nto contemporary examples of whistleblowing

  showing how and why some prove more damaging\nor beneficial than others. I will conclude with some suggestions as to practical reforms which might\nmitigate the seemingly inevitable pendulum-swinging between Snowden-style vigilantism and a\npanoptic security state.
