Secrecy is a 2008 documentary film directed by Harvard University professors Peter Galison and Robb Moss.

Bruce (who was a senior staff member to the Iraq Intelligence Commission), Barton Gellman (a "Washington Post" journalist), Melissa Boyle Mahle (a former CIA officer), the plaintiffs in "United States v. Reynolds" (1953) (the case which established the State Secrets Privilege in the United States), Siegfried Hecker (former director of Los Alamos National Laboratory), Mike Levin (a former member of the National Security Agency), and Neal Katyal and Charles Swift (the lawyers for the defendant in "Hamdan v.
