Senior Honors Theses
This paper will discuss Christian involvement in the intelligence field in addition to the ethical issues inherent to intelligence, specifically deception, including lying and manipulation, and technology as a force multiplier.

The arguments will be presented in order that Christians may be able to understand how to apply the two greatest commandments, to love our …

Other nations, including France and Israel, approach this problem with …

Joseph Stalin, the Communist leader of the Soviet Union in from 1924-1953, used disinformation to discredit such perceived enemies as the United States and the Roman Catholic Church. …
