Espionage

In the news, we see espionage. Some scientist, David Nozette, was selling "classified information" to Israel. This comes as a shock that we would be offended by this seeing as how Israel is an ally, but if secrets fall into the wrong hands it could turn out worse than expected. I have a feeling its more a charge against the monetary value, and not so much in the espionage. The secret information was about our defense tactics, possibly to aid Israel. It's just a wonder how someone with ties like that could be lead into our safest secrets, especially when he is a mole.

Peer Review

The peer review is tool we use to compare our writings to other peers, not harshly, but with a scholarly thought process. The most useful tool here is reading it to your audience. It gives you a sense of how you feel about the paper. My focus becomes more on what they think, then i get nervous, want to stop reading, and re write my paper. In part for the questions, i believe the most important question whether or not the writer has a second thesis. Little to my knowledge, i did not know we needed a second thesis to dissect the book and the song together. Another useful lesson learned today...
