US Officials: There's a New Leaker
The United Sates government has determined there is a new person leaking secret documents, CNN reported Tuesday.
The news comes the same as day as new reporting by Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Devereaux for The Intercept revealed that many of those on the government's terrorist watchlist have no terrorist group affiliation. Their reporting cites documents dated 2013 leaked by a "source within the intelligence community."
Scahill and Devereaux also reported roughly two weeks ago on the National Counterterrorism Center's secret guidebook for how it adds names to and manages its terrorism database. That reporting said the document was leaked to The Intercept by "a source within the intelligence community" as well.
Glenn Greenwald, a founding editor of The Intercept and the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who broke the story of vast NSA spying based on documents leaked by Edward Snowden, told CNN in February, "I definitely think it's fair to say that there are people who have been inspired by Edward Snowden's courage and by the great good and virtue that it has achieved."
"I have no doubt there will be other sources inside the government who see extreme wrongdoing who are inspired by Edward Snowden," Greenwald said.
Urgent. It's never been this bad.
Dear Common Dreams reader, It’s been nearly 30 years since I co-founded Common Dreams with my late wife, Lina Newhouser. We had the radical notion that journalism should serve the public good, not corporate profits. It was clear to us from the outset what it would take to build such a project. No paid advertisements. No corporate sponsors. No millionaire publisher telling us what to think or do. Many people said we wouldn't last a year, but we proved those doubters wrong. Together with a tremendous team of journalists and dedicated staff, we built an independent media outlet free from the constraints of profits and corporate control. Our mission from the outset was simple. To inform. To inspire. To ignite change for the common good. Building Common Dreams was not easy. Our survival was never guaranteed. When you take on the most powerful forces—Wall Street greed, fossil fuel industry destruction, Big Tech lobbyists, and uber-rich oligarchs who have spent billions upon billions rigging the economy and democracy in their favor—the only bulwark you have is supporters who believe in your work. But here’s the urgent message from me today. It’s never been this bad out there. And it’s never been this hard to keep us going. At the very moment Common Dreams is most needed and doing some of its best and most important work, the threats we face are intensifying. Right now, with just two days to go in our Spring Campaign, we're falling short of our make-or-break goal. When everyone does the little they can afford, we are strong. But if that support retreats or dries up, so do we. Can you make a gift right now to make sure Common Dreams not only survives but thrives? There is no backup plan or rainy day fund. There is only you. —Craig Brown, Co-founder |
