THE WHISTLEBLOWER – VIDEO

edward-snowden-as-Smart-Object-1Jesselyn Radack & Thomas Drake are a force to be reckoned with. She is the legal adviser to former NSA contractor Edward Snowden and the Director of National Security & Human Rights at the Government Accountability Project. He is a former senior executive of the United States National Security Agency (NSA) and a whistleblower. In 2006, Thomas leaked information about the NSA’s data-gathering Trailblazer Project and was prosecuted under the Espionage Act, but in 2010, but the case collapsed.  Thomas Drake has an incredible story that inspired Edward Snowden to flee the country and release information with a very specific protocol. After seeing the way that Thomas was treated by the government Edward knew that he would never be protected by any type of Whistleblowing statute if he remained on American soil.
