On March 28, I appeared on a segment of Huff Post Live today with NSA whistleblowers Tom Drake and Bill Binney, along with their attorney Jesselyn Radack and Ben Freeman of the Project on Government Oversight. We got deep into Thin Thread and Trailblazer, the two programs that were the subject of my story this week in The Nation. The best part is Binney and Drake talking about their experiences at the NSA and the contracting world, and the unconstitutional surveillance programs unleashed by the agency after 9/11 – including the massive domestic data-mining program called STELLAR WIND. It’s about 30 minutes long and, believe me, you will learn a lot. I’ve been talking to the whistleblowers for a whole year, and even I learned a few things during the course of this discussion.
