Sources Clarke plagiarized include a 2002 ACLU report about

report on the need to overhaul secrecy laws.
Other sources Clarke lifted words from include: the 9/11
Commission Report, a 2011 article in the Homeland Security Affairs journal, the

by the US General Accounting Office, a 2011 Brennan Center report, a 2013
Washington Post article about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court,
Comparative Homeland Security: Global Lessons, a textbook by Nadav Morag, and
Safe Cities Project, a research paper published by the Manhattan Institute.
Clarke also allegedly
plagiarized President George W. Bush.
