N2  - The British public has a high degree of skepticism about the need for and value of its secret intelligence services. This has been fuelled by revelations of incompetence, wrong analysis, the extent of political manipulation, and infringements of civil liberties. Describes recent developments in the publics views of the secret services, noting the paradoxical role of such services in a liberal democracy. Ultimately secret agencies have to be taken on trust but citizens are well advised to treat them with caution
