The Humanity of Espionage, The Catholic University of America, 28 February 2019. Espionage is the collection of national security intelligence through human means. One person, the spy–typically a foreign national with access to information–passes it to another person, called a handler or case officer. At the heart of this activity is the relationship between the spy and his handler. This panel of former CIA case officers will explore the nature of that relationship through exploration of a variety of questions: What does it mean to persuade another human being to break the trust he has with his own country and work for the benefit of the United States? What obligations does the U.S. government have in such situations? What is the personal connection between spy and case officer–is it totally cynical, or is there an authentic relationship?
