National Security Counselors was founded to further the twin ideals that the public needs to be as informed as possible about what its government does in the name of national security, & that people entangled in legal matters in this field should have reasonable access to knowledgeable legal assistance, regardless of income. To that end, NSC exists to perform four primary functions: to lawfully acquire from the government material related to national security matters & distribute it to the public, to use this material in the creation of original publications discussing the respective subjects, to advocate for intelligent reform in the national security & information/privacy arenas, & to provide a low-cost alternative to deserving clients involved in proceedings related to these subjects.
