US Officials: There's a New Leaker
Aug 05, 2014
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.
An Unconstitutional Rampage
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
