The NSA's Domestic Spying Program

Post by MachineGhost »

It took me a few days to work up the nerve to phone William Binney. As someone already a “target”? of the United States government, I found it difficult not to worry about the chain of unintended consequences I might unleash by calling Mr. Binney, a 32-year veteran of the National Security Agency turned whistle-blower. He picked up. I nervously explained I was a documentary filmmaker and wanted to speak to him. To my surprise he replied: “I’m tired of my government harassing me and violating the Constitution. Yes, I’ll talk to you.”?

It was built into the share function of the video.

That's a great video.  Thanks for posting.

I wish I could say that anything in the video surprised me.

I do not think that Thomas Jefferson would approve.
