In July, the Office of the Director for National Intelligence (ODNI) issued an important directive. The directive said that all Intelligence Community analysts “should leverage outside expertise as part of their work” to “explore ideas and alternative perspectives, gain new insights, generate new knowledge, or obtain new information.”
The directive is important because security officials and security clearance adjudicators have previously been known to suspend or revoke clearances of analysts who interacted with some outside, non-governmental groups such as those identified in the directive. In their defense, clearance-holders accused of wrong-doing because of such activity may now draw upon the authority allowed under this new directive.

A federal judge in Pennsylvania has dismissed the most significant parts of a lawsuit brought against the U.S. Government for revoking the security clearance of a veteran Department of Energy employee.
Judge McVeery of the U.S. District Court of Western PA said that the case would have required him to second-guess the government’s decision to revoke the clearance. Instead, he said he would take “under advisement” the argument that the government violated procedures for the revocation of a clearance.
ClearedCommunity.com last reported on the case here. The latest developments were reported in the press here. The judge’s ruling (pdf) makes for very interesting reading and is replete with references to case law governing the handling of security clearances.
