Essay Assignment – Lesson 8:
The second essay will be 8 pages
Guidance Concerning Paper Structure: Essays will cover areas of topical interest to the counterterrorism and intelligence communities and must be organized and written in a professional manner. While the first essay is meant to measure and evaluate your research and cognitive abilities, the final paper will reveal your deeper understanding of US policy and organizations and your ability to provide reason and analysis as a top US national security official. Each essay should contain backgrounds, current perspectives, analysis, and conclusions and/or key judgments. Due to the nature of the assignments, individual sections and sub-headings may differ. Creativity is encouraged; however, since these are graduate-level papers, professionalism, attention to detail, and cogent organization are mandatory.
While the first essay displays your ability to research and form cogent analysis and conclusions, this 8 page essay requires applying course instruction and independent learning to formulate policy recommendations. Do the same thing you did for the mid-term paper for “enhanced” interrogation techniques and rendition used by the CIA from roughly 2003 until at least 2006. Pick at least one ethical system, and explain why it/they (enhanced interrogation and rendition) were ethical or not, based on the ethical system you picked, and were they Constitutional, based on the Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments? Why or why not? At least six sources and relevant citations, in your text.
Use Chicago Manual of Style footnote format and not author-date. Make your argument as strong as possible, and write it well enough so that your instructor is sure that you understand what you are talking about. Don’t simply quote sources.
*Essay will be turned in to the professor via the Blackboard Assignment system.
