NSA Whistleblowers
Democracy Now interviews former National Security Agency official and whistleblower William Binney. One of a group of NSA technicians charged with gathering communications data, Binney resigned in October 2001 signing a complaint against the agency for corruption, fraud, waste and abuse. He and other whistleblowers were arrested at gunpoint by FBI agents exercising retribution for their exposure of illegal domestic spying on US citizens opposed to US policy under the Bush-Cheney administration.
