Thread: More whistleblowers prosecuted under Obama than under any ot

Revealed multi-billion dollar fraud at NSA

DemocracyNow.org - National Security Agency whistleblower Thomas Drake faces 35 years in prison on espionage charges for allegedly leaking information to the press about the NSA's overspending and failure to properly maintain its large trove of domestic spy data.

"Espionage is the last thing my whistleblowing and first amendment activities and actions were all about," Drake said recently in a public speech. "This has become the specter of a truly Orwellian world where whistleblowing has become espionage."

According to the New Yorker, the Obama administration has used the Espionage Act of 1917 to press criminal charges in five alleged instances of national security leaks—more such prosecutions than have occurred in all previous administrations combined. We play excerpts of Thomas Drake's first public comments and talk to former Justice Department whistleblower, Jesselyn Radack.

In a sane country, we'd celebrate and defend our
whistleblowers.

Instead, the news media ignores them and the
government lines up armies of prosecutors
against them.

In this case, five Depart of Justice attorneys
and twenty-five FBI agents vs. one NSA employee
whose "crime" is telling the truth about government
crime and waste on behalf of all of us.
