Yes, foreign nationals are allowed to obtain basic security clearances. However, in the defense and intelligence communities classified material may also be marked "NOFORN" – no foreign nationals regardless of their security clearance.
- rdl 13y agoUsually it would be an Australian clearance and then access to NATO data. I know the rules are different for dod, leo, and IC clearances, too.
- malandrew 13y agoIt would be nice if every single government secret classified not classified as NOFORN became public very quickly (a few years at absolute most). I can understand justifications of keeping data marked NOFORN secret for many many years, but see no reason why the American people should support secrecy that lasts any longer than the amount of time it takes to achieve some political objective.
