DESCRIPTION:Views on the business of intelligence have varied over time in
  British society\, from romantic images of spies and espionage\, to allega
 tions of complicity in torture and the sinister construction of a Big Brot
 her society. How and why has the business of intelligence – and our view
  of it – changed since the turn of the century? With the explosion in av
 ailability of personal and public data\, and the growing technological cap
 abilities to collect and mine it\, what are the ethical and political cons
 iderations for our intelligence agencies to consider? By some measures\, t
 he British people are now the most surveilled population on earth. How do 
 we define privacy\, and how much of a right to it do we have? This paper s
 eeks to address these questions and to chart the changes in the intelligen
 ce business since the end of the Cold War.
