instructions: prepare a short essay of NO MORE THAN ONE PAGE reacting to the discussion question for a given lecture period. Be analytical: This means making a logical or empirical point, not just appreciating things. Answer the question, explicitly, briefly, and then provide a defense of your position. Points will be given for taking a stand and also for the (logical/empirical) rigor of your argument. Be “punchy”, impactful: You only have one page to make your case. Discussion: What do Americans “need to know” in foreign policy? When [if
ever] does it make sense for U.S. officials to conceal information from the public? only use ch5-7 of the book attached.
