Introduction
Given the fact that Intelligence was my favourite subject from my first year at
Security and Diplomacy, I had a hard time choosing the subject for my final paper. But I
settled with Intelligence and Ethics for some reasons: first of all, my passion for
Intelligence, Security, Strategies, Analysis, Investigations, Warfare and my interest for Social
Activism and Human Rights meet up in this point. Secondly, even though we covered a large
panel of intelligence topics, we didn`t actually had an academic debate on this subject at
class; we only tangentially talked about it while discussing other matters. Thirdly, I was
curious to find and discuss about the theoretical approach of that fragile and thin line when
the Ethics become debatable within Intelligence and if that point is obvious and important or
not.
My little research didn`t start from a naive or hypocrite point of view. I am very
aware that some people (even researchers, teachers or authors), mostly coming from vary
domains where Ethics is the main pylon or have extremely strong ethical values consider
Intelligence the child that gone wild from the International Relations range and surround
this field with false motives, hypocrisy, justified wrongs, torture, bribe, espionage,
surveillance, spying, unjustified
missions,
infiltration, betrayal,
assassinations,
