Keeping the Right Secrets Secret

Chris and Zack are joined by special guest co-host, Emily Harding
of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The three
review the Biden administration's latest responses to the crisis
in Ukraine before turning to the issue of information security,
both in the U.S. government and in the private sector. What
information is, and should be, classified? And are we striking
the right balance between keeping government secrets secret, and
ensuring that private information about customers and users is
well protected? Emily has a grievance about the apparent
poisoning of Ukrainian peace negotiators and Russian oligarch
Roman Abramovich, and the subsequent response by U.S. officials
who seemed to cast doubt on the story. For the second show in a
row, Zack has a grievance toward Chris, and Chris is cold and
cranky because his March Madness bracket was busted after the
first weekend. Attapeople to the U.S. intelligence community for
strategically releasing information that reset the terms of the
debate over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Emily gives a shout-out
to working mother and Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson
for being an inspiration to other working moms. And Chris praises
his colleagues Emma Ashford and Kelly Grieco.
