The authors provide historical and legal context for understanding the controversy, which arose when it was discovered that the White House had requested and obtained FBI background files on over 400 individuals without justification. The book's contributors explore the legal and ethical issues raised by this incident, including the proper role of the FBI in background investigations, the privacy rights of individuals, and the appropriate balance between the need for security and the protection of civil liberties. The book concludes with a series of recommendations for reforming the background investigation process to prevent similar abuses from occurring in the future.
