Why the Snowden Situation Shows 'Protected Disclosure' Is Critical (zdnet.com)
An anonymous reader writes: In the wake of NSA leaks debacle, New Zealand's Inspector General of Security and Intelligence has developed a process to enable whistleblowers to act safely. "The Edward Snowden disclosures demonstrate how critical it is to have a clear path, with appropriate protections, for disclosing information about suspected wrongdoing (PDF) within an intelligence and security agency," Cheryl Gwyn says. The Inspector General's powers were boosted after it was discovered New Zealand's Government Communications Security Bureau had been spying illegally on Kim Dotcom and others. "Edward Snowden has consistently said it was impossible for him to make internal disclosures about what he believed was wrongdoing due to the lack of whistleblower protections he faced in the U.S."
What really needs to happen is that people responsible for illegal activity, including spying, need to go to fucking prison, just like any one of the great unwashed goes to prison for breaking laws. These people break these laws, which then requires some whistleblowing because they know they can do it with impunity.
it's the godawful punishment for being honest we invented that scares us?
"If it was important enough he should have been willing to do the time"
Snowden has publicly stated that he is willing to do time.
However, had he not taken the course of action that he did then we would not know the extent of government spying and Snowden would be considered just another conspiracy kook making accusations without any hard evidence.
Snowden did the right thing and took the appropriate measures to do so. We all owe him our gratitude.
Political correctness is really just herd psychology pushed by insecure people who desperately seek social conformity.
Your expectation is that if you discover wrongdoing, you should be the one to do prison time rather than those responsible?
There is clear evidence (both claimed by Snowden and confirmed by the NSA) that he did report his concerns to management only to be shot down, unfortunately that was the only path available to him at the time and so the inevitable happened. I for one am grateful that this information was leaked.
For the record, Snowden has said he would be willing to go to court and face jail time for this IF he could get a fair hearing. It's obvious he would never get this in the US.
Proper protection would be oversight from a non-military agency with suitable experience in handling secret and top-secret issues. The problem is how do you setup something where a civilian has full access when necessary to classified information of this level.
You're expecting him to trust people that can't be trusted.
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
What about Aaron Swartz? Should he have been "willing to do the time"?
What about Michael Brown? Should he have been "willing to do the time"?
It's easy for you to say that these remarkable men should just "do the time", but the reality is a very different matter.
There was a lack of protection. If it was important enough he should have been willing to do the time. You can't have individuals deciding what is and what is not a national security secret with no consequence. A legitimate whistleblower protection for reporting to someone in the chain of command (e.g. someone working for Congress on that specific issue) would have been appropriate.
Except the chain command has no interest in trouble-making whistle blowers. What is needed is a change in culture and attitude on the part of intelligence agencies, so that they are concerned with legality and civil rights and not just the shortest path to the most information. The boosting of the IG's power in this case better include subpoena and arrest power (or however these things work in New Zealand) or I don't see how it will help.
As to your first point, fuck that. Someone should be willing to have their life ruined in order to expose wrongdoing? That's exactly why more people don't come forward to begin with. I'll agree that is would be chaotic to have everyone deciding whether something should be secret or not. But "national security" and classification have been so abused and used to hide criminality, those who cite it have lost credibility. The speed and altitude capabilities of our newest spy plane? Sure, national security secret. The positions of our troops and battle plans? Absolutely, national security. The fact that the NSA is illegally spying on everyone in contravention of the Constitution? Nope, not national security.
"What the American public doesn't know is what makes them the American public." -Ray Zalinsky (Tommy Boy)
It's an impasse of sorts in Snowden case: in order to serve justice, US needs to modify Espionage Act to allow "public interest defense". But if it is allowed then Snowden's lawyers will pull all the dirt about NSA dealing and the case will escalate to Supreme Court (Snowden has standing after all) were all this shit might be declared unconstitutional. And US government cannot afford that risk, thus no justice for you, Snowden.
If it was important enough he should have been willing to do the time. You can't have individuals deciding what is and what is not a national security secret with no consequence.
Looks to me like Snowden found a better way than your approach.
People seem to think the national security field is made up of shadowy organizations who are trampling on the constitution every day. In actuality, these organizations are staffed and run by thousands of average Americans who like freedom and our way of life, and aren't going to violate these principles.
Only people on the outside looking in ever wonder if these organizations have a nefarious goal to violate laws and subvert the constitution. Anyone who's ever worked in military intelligence or national security knows that every person and boss at every level is doing his best to follow all applicable laws, the constitution, and the bill of rights.
It doesn't matter if you have a means to report it. Nothing will -ever- happen to stop the activity. The 'system' as a whole has an invested interest in assuring that any such disclosures never lead to actual repercussions. No matter how protected it is, you will be outed as the one who complained and you will be dealt with either by being framed, arrested on some technicality and having the book thrown at you or simply find yourself unable to work in your profession again because apparently you no longer get called in for interviews.
If you go up against a system you have to expect to be destroyed by that system. Once in while you may succeed in leaving a chip mark and very once in a generation you might win but the odds are worse than powerball. It is better to collude with the system and minimize the damage when you get the chance by maneuvering it to believe that such routes are a better path to more money/power/etc.
You can't have individuals deciding what is and what is not a national security secret with no consequence.
That includes NSA. Just because you are working for a government agency you can't just say that anything is a national security secret and decide to not make it public.
The good thing is that you don't need to.
All that is needed is that government agencies stops doing anything illegal and/or unethical. Then it won't be necessary employees to make the public aware of said events and a simple NDA would be sufficient to keep secrets.
TL;DR; If you have legitimate secrets, make sure that you don't commit crimes, because criminals doesn't have a right to keep secrets.
Perhaps New Zealand could offer Mr. Snowden citizenship as he has shown that he is willing to suffer for the public good. People do have the right to know and the cowardly posture of the US in dreading any potential event is silly. To be part of this world both as individuals and as nations we have to be abl;e to accept some level of risk. No nation has ever had perfect security and the US has gone way too far in that regard.
In regards to Snowden, unless you can find a congressman or senator to help and forge away ahead for you, you have nothing. Plenty of other resources for other branches of the government, even for commercial businesses.
Citation needed.
The problem is how do you setup something where a civilian has full access when necessary to classified information of this level.
You don't. The issue isn't civilian vs. military or government. The issue is that regardless of an individual's security clearance level, access is based on being "read in" to the program in question AND upon having an established need-to-know. I have personally worked on a number of classified programs, but I only had access to information that was pertinent to doing my job.
Yeah right...

Your anecdote isn't even close to being of the same magnitude, and without a verifiable source you are a lying shit.
As several news articles have pointed out, the very same man who Snowden saw lying to Congress about the extent of the spying would have been the one Snowden would ultimately be reporting to, were he to report his concerns. Sure, they might have then fired Snowden as a result - but it's also entirely possible they wouldn't. The main thing is, there was no chance whatsoever that the NSA would decide to come clean and tell the truth because a junior IT guy pointed out they were lying. They knew they were lying at much higher levels and were ok with that.

From the first week of Snowden revealing himself in Hong Kong, during a time when he still didn't know if he was going to be fucked by the Chinese and extradited back to the U.S.
You can't have individuals deciding what is and what is not a national security secret with no consequence.
You're not talking about Hillary Clinton are you? You probably should. Those Damn eMails.
Agent K: A *person* is smart. People are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.
There was a lack of protection. If it was important enough he should have been willing to do the time.
He shouldn't have to. That's why we need protection.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
see the problem is if you dont make a responsible avenue for disclosure, this is what happens. Causes far more damage to hide all the gov't wrong doing, than to provide whitsleblower provisions. Because we do not have them, it encourages people like snowden to go to Russia and China and disclose,
so it would be prudent to protect snowden and people like him against the abuses of government. Unfortunately the gov't ass is stuck so far up its ass (notice no brains just ass) that they would rather silence everything and maintain this illusion of 'responsibility', what sad times we live in.
When the chain of command is ignoring the law, there is no fucking point in reporting to the chain of command ... they're the problem, which pretty much means they can't be part of the solution.
The problem with this is that they all knew damned well they were operating well beyond what they were allowed to, and weren't going to do anything about it -- other than keeping doing it.
The the agencies are deciding what is legal and what isn't with no consequence, it's time to stop trusting the agencies with deciding what is legal and what isn't.
"Legitimate whistleblower protection" has to include the fact that the people in charge ARE the damned problem. Because in this case, they were. And trusting them to fix the problem would mean they'd bury it, and nothing would change.
Sorry, when the system is that broken, you can't rely on the system to fix the problem.

Anyone who's ever worked in military intelligence or national security knows that every person and boss at every level is doing his best to follow all applicable laws, the constitution, and the bill of rights.
If that were true, there wouldn't have been anything for Snowden to leak.
Or perhaps there would have only been one instance of a single wrongdoing that needed to be reported to someone somewhere.
The sheer volume of what Snowden leaked is proof that you are a naive fool.
Why? Because such disclosure defeats the most important goal which is to not let the victims know they have been owned. If the victim knows they were owned, they fix the hole and you can't do it again. No temporary knowledge is ever worth what you can get next year and the one after that.
If you go public, then you are almost always not engaged in espionage, you are a Whistle Blower.
The few exceptions are the revelations of specific details such as plans on how to build top secret physical objects, copies of top secret computer code, or the names of undercover agents. That type of information should never be disclosed, not even publicly.
General methods, avenues of attack, etc. simply do deserve the same level of protection. The fact that we do X is never really secret, no matter what the government says.
Part of it is the reputation issue. China's main problem is that they care more about their politicians' reputation than what the politicians are doing.
America should NEVER make that mistake - what someone actually does is always far more important than their reputation - and that includes the reputation of government agencies.

These organizations are staffed and run by thousands of average Americans who like freedom and our way of life... every person and boss at every level is doing his best to follow all applicable laws, the constitution, and the bill of rights.
So, don't take this the wrong way, but: Do you actually know any people? Have you ever had a job?
Because none of that is how being an employee works. If there's no accountability, people just surf the internet all day. If there is some kind of accountability, people do their best to keep their immediate supervisor happy, so that they don't get fired. If the accountability system is measurement-based, and most are, that means maximizing your "performance", which means maximizing some statistic about how you do your job. If any part of your job can't be measured, you can't be held accountable for it.
In most fields, the employee is under no pressure to break laws, because the laws are irrelevant. If you're writing software, for instance, it's pretty hard to accidentally break a law by typing a semicolon in the wrong place. So the laws don't interfere with you maximizing your measured performance.
But when you work for law enforcement? There are hundreds of laws designed specifically to get in your way. You have to work around them constantly. Law officers resent these laws, much as a computer programmer might resent bugs in the underlying operating system. So the natural inclination is to work around them. And they do, because there's often no reason not to.
Because how do you measure the statistic "laws adhered to, in spirit and in letter"? It's hard. Usually you can't. So nobody measures it. So people aren't held accountable for it. But the employee is still under pressure to maximize some other stats, and these laws prevent them from doing that. That is, following the laws lowers their measured performance, which has a negative effect on their employment. Breaking the laws, on the other hand, has no effect on their employment.
So laws get broken. It happens every day.
The sheer volume of what Snowden leaked is proof that you are a naive fool.
Revealing details of the metadata program that collected phone numbers from domestic carriers? You can make a whistleblowing claim here. I supported Snowden during the first 1-2 weeks after he revealed himself, because I want to protect the constitution and values we live by here in the U.S.
But what else has Snowden revealed as time went on? The whistleblowing material dried up very quickly... Snowden revealed detailed information beyond just generalities on the following topics:
That the U.S. government intercepts routers and other hardware going to foreign governments, and implants spy devices on them... not whistleblowing.
That the U.S. government taps undersea cables, sometimes with host government permission... not whistleblowing.
That the U.S. government spies on leaders of foreign governments, like Angela Merkel... not whistleblowing.
That the U.S. government hacks into Chinese computer systems... not whistleblowing.
That the U.S. government has many specific tools for infiltrating foreign government computer systems... not whistleblowing.
Again, he didn't just reveal "that these things are happening". The documents he leaked (now numbering in the several thousands of publicly released documents according to Cryptome) go into specific detail about these programs and how they work. This is information that would have been better left secret so the U.S. government could do its legitimate job against foreign governments: collecting their intelligence, and catching their spies trying to do the same to us.
Snowden had several legal options he chose to ignore. Every employee that works around protected data is briefed on legal paths of whistle-blowing that are outside of the chain of command. Legal reporting has protection against reprisal and isn't treason. He could have presented his case to IG, FBI, Congress, Congressional Committees and Sub-Committees... There were hundreds of routes available that did not entail dumping classified data out to the public that placed lives at risk and would not be considered treason. The public surveillance part of the data dump was only a small portion of what he stole. This small section has everyone upset and calling him a hero, while the majority of what he stole had nothing to do with his claim of "public good."
So no, he did not have to report to that one guy. His work was a calculated play to get public support.
In actuality, these organizations are staffed and run by thousands of average Americans who like freedom and our way of life, and aren't going to violate these principles.
Sorry, we aren't dupes. If these organizations want to be treated with respect, then they should stop violating laws and subverting the constitution, stop with the secret courts, the universal spying, the undermining of the US high tech industry, and the harsh punishment of whistleblowers.
But individuals DO decide. The director of the NSA is an individual. He makes decisions about what things are secrets, and what things aren't. Sometimes he consults with the President on it. He decides what, if anything, to tell Congress. The NSA isn't a democratic institution, it's military, and it doesn't make decisions based on consensus. We shouldn't want it to. However, Congress abandoned oversight of intelligence a long time ago. In that vacuum, we have whistleblowers.
The NSA warrentless wiretapping was not illegal. It had been approved by Congress, the FISA court, and The President. Reporting through channels is pointless because an Inspector General can not overrule all three branches of government.
Snowden's claim was that the American people would not tolerate this. He has been proven right. A majority of Congress, The President, and some federal judges have agreed that the 215 program must stop.
Even Michael Hayden (of the CIA and NSA) said the same thing the other day. He said, "The 215 program had the consent of the governors, but not the consent of the governed." This is a critical point. Democracy can not function when voters are kept in the dark about things government does that might outrage the voters. They can't throw out politicians who have done outrageous things if their actions are secret. Obtaining the explicit consent of the government must override all laws.
So, how is a whistleblower supposed to blow the whistle legally, when he is reporting something the public needs to know, but which the entire government said is legal?
Or they would respond like they did to Thomas Drake and try to put him in solitary for the rest of his life.
Just because they decided to redefine "search" as "grab everything, data mine it, and say its only searched if a person reads it personally" does not mean they can get away with it.
The failure is in the judicial oversight.
Disclosing "within the intelligence agency" would have been pointless; it would simply have been swept under the rug, protections or not.
The only thing Snowden could do with this information is disclose it publicly if he felt it was sufficiently important, and if he was willing to pay the personal price and hope for leniency eventually. That's what he did. Now, you may agree or disagree with his decision, but there really are not a whole lot of options to change this process.
So you're not willing to trust Snowden, nor are you willing to trust the journalists like Greenwald that he spoke to in Hong Kong, but you're willing to trust a Chinese state-run newspaper?
Got any idea how many cops have been decertified and/or imprisoned in the US lately? Police work, like the intel services, ATTRACT PEOPLE WHO ARE UTTER DOUCHEBAGS. Maybe MOST people are just average Americans, with a tendency to defend freedom - but you've also got a bunch of douchebags.

"Windows is like the faint smell of piss in a subway: it's there, and there's nothing you can do about it." - Charlie Br
YUP!!!
Internal whistleblowing programs do ONE thing and ONE thing only, BURY THE PROBLEM INTERNALLY!!!
Government should not have any secrets, otherwise they're against you the people.
Which, by the way, they obviously are.
I'll bite - I AM a former employee of the NSA, and I can tell you this:
During our training there was an awful lot of winking taking place. Like, "It is against the law for us to copy American targets, so if we end up accidentally copying something from an American it is our responsibility to stop immediately and move on. "
Of course, this was back in the pre-internet days, so surely they've gotten MORE (and not less) responsible, right?
Not only that but a quick google search will show you that you are definitively wrong - from election shenanigans perpetrated by the Fed to small pockets of NSA employees targeting specific people (remember the IRS fiasco(s)?).
If you believe that the United States Government has any motivation to protect your privacy, you're delusional. If you think that the people that the NSA hires are "more ethical" than the usual band of idiots, you are also delusional and that's just a little bit sad.
A healthy dose of paranoia would do you some good. What they are doing is not right. It's not right even under the heading of "protecting Freedom!!!", if only because it flies in the face of the stated goal.
It didn't like my *wink wink* that iput in after "...and move on.", but it's there. I promise.
What is needed is a change in culture and attitude on the part of intelligence agencies, so that they are concerned with legality and civil rights and not just the shortest path to the most information.
Anyone who has ever worked in national security can tell you every military and civilian intel agency is extremely careful about the legality of their actions and protecting the civil rights of Americans.
If you only read Glenn Greenwald-esque editorials and opinion pieces, then it's no wonder you have an extremely skewed view of the issues.
I work in a classified environment. You are right that people are concerned with what is legal. But people like Thomas Drake and William Binney might take issue with the idea they are concerned about civil rights. Oh sure, the rank and file are. But we are talking about the top brass here. You know, the guys who lie to Congress.

Have you just made the argument that the US spying on the foreigners is legitimate, but the foreigners spying on the US is illegitimate? Sweet! :D
Hmm, regardless of what Snowden said or supposedly exposed there... Are you somehow trying to grab a moral high ground for the US? As in, US spying and hacking attempts into Chinese systems are OK but Chinese hacking attempts into US systems is not...especially when no information to date has been brought forward to justify the US hacking attempts?
Dude, I work in civilian intelligence, and I worked in military intelligence for years before that.
So you don't have any relevant experience with the parts of the NSA that are alleged to be out of control.
Anybody who has worked in government intelligence can tell you their internal accountability system is strong
They can also tell me that it is weak. Snowden incidentally told me that.
they are very strict about following all applicable laws and the constitution in any situation where U.S. citizens could be collected on.
An assertion which seems to be at odds with actual evidence.
He went from a possible heroes(sic) to a coward and traitor with his actions.
Whereas you've just gone from a possible participant in a discussion to a blazing idiot at odds with reality with your troll fantasies. Do some research to find out what real heroes do. Get informed or get out.
Nobody made that argument.
You willing to provide citations over SIPR or are you just full of shit?
What amazingly torturous devotion to the gutter mob dedicated to the demonization of a real American heroic.
Wha...what? People like Snowden DON'T disclose. That's part of the point. Your refusal to accept it is really tiresome.
It simply isn't done that way.
Sometimes it is.
Have gnu, will travel.
lol if u pull the other nutball there's some dickcheese to go along with it ;)
An AC demanding proof of authenticity... that's rich.
If you want a vision of the future, imagine a youtube comments section scrolling - forever.
Are you somehow trying to grab a moral high ground for the US? As in, US spying and hacking attempts into Chinese systems are OK but Chinese hacking attempts into US systems is not...
Nobody said that.
especially when no information to date has been brought forward to justify the US hacking attempts?
Intelligence collection against foreign governments is always justified.
To expand on this: Every government hacks into other governments; only the Chinese use it for the financial benefit of their own corporations.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
Interesting.... So other countries hacking into US systems are justified under the guise of "intelligence collection against foreign gov'ts"? Is that the premise here?
There is clear evidence (both claimed by Snowden and confirmed by the NSA) that he did report his concerns to management only to be shot down, unfortunately that was the only path available to him at the time and so the inevitable happened. I for one am grateful that this information was leaked.
Bull Shit.
There is clear evidence that Snowden DID NOT report any concerns.
https://news.vice.com/article/...
The government published all the emails they could find and only one of them was a question, and it was about procedural questions having to do with a training class about the authorities the NSA works under.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
Shouldn't every voting, taxpaying citizen of the US "need-to-know" what personal information the government maintains on them and how it is used? How else are we supposed to have informed policy debates?
Nobody has ever made that argument, every country spies, it is only China that spies for economic purposes, this is why the US criticizes them for it.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
Except even if he was fully protected, guaranteed his job if he only went through 'proper channels', the other side is that EXACTLY NOTHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED with what he reported. Everyone above him was fine with what they were doing.
The only way anything would have changed is by going public, and they will NEVER offer any kind of protection for doing that.
Sleep your way to a whiter smile...date a dentist!
Could the actors of the American Revolution act via existing royal channels? Certainly not. History does not work like this, unfortunately.
It's not interesting and there is no premise, it's just fucking fascist bullshit.
"If it was important enough he should have been willing to do the time"

Snowden did the right thing and took the appropriate measures to do so. We all owe him our gratitude.
I agree he did the right thing, but for the wrong reasons. I personally think he did this because he is under the misguided opinion that the US can be fixed, he didn't know the half of it, how far back it goes or exactly what and who it involves. I unfortunately do not share his opinion. Technically information that is classified is done so by a sovereign nation, not one being run by outside interests of those that amount to be a batch of asshole closet case communist pedophiles that were responsible for installing Adolf Hitler and bringing about WWII. As far as sovereignty is concerned in the US, you might just want to take a glance of the Wikileaks release on the TPP deal while waving goodbye to the petro dollar. Bush Sr. did tell Jr. 'Do not go in there' for good reason, and say hello to the life style imposed on those in South Africa by the same batch of assholes mentioned above.
Correction, not closet communists, closet case thieving Nazi's. This does not implicate Russia, they were US allies during WWII.
I'll bite - I AM a former employee of the NSA, and I can tell you this:
During our training there was an awful lot of winking taking place. Like, "It is against the law for us to copy American targets, so if we end up accidentally copying something from an American it is our responsibility to stop immediately and move on."
Smells like bullshit. This doesn't sound anything like the language the NSA uses internally, and nobody there takes this "spying on Americans" stuff so nonchalantly. Even Snowden's own documents explicitly show strong NSA pushback against the Bush administration wanting to slightly loosen the restrictions against one-end-inside-the-U.S. surveillance of foreign communications.
You can't prove we don't do this as well. In fact, I'd argue that we already do.. We do already know from Snowden and Channing that we spy on foreign governments and foreign corporations for "Foreign Policy" purposes. That, in and of itself, is for the benefit of US Corporations.
then they should stop violating laws and subverting the constitution
It has not been ruled that they did. The justification that was published had to do with pen registers. Also, getting a warrant satisfies the constitution, it doesn't matter which court is used for that warrant.
stop with the secret courts
Who else would you use that can see the secret information to determine if the warrant should be given?
the universal spying
the undermining of the US high tech industry
So, stop doing the job that they are asked to do by the government? The NSA is a spying agency, sorry to burst your bubble.
and the harsh punishment of whistleblowers.
No whistleblower has ever been harmed by the NSA. Disclosing secret and top secret information to foreign governments is not whistleblowing, it is treason. Snowden chose not to blow the whistle and instead commit treason, he is being charged with the crimes he committed.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
If Snowden wanted to be a whistleblower, he should have taken his concerns to congress, not foreign governments.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
And I'm the queen of Jupiter. The US government has been caught numerous times committing industrial espionage and funneling the results to private companies. In addition to the clear immortality of doing so in the first place it amounts to embezzlement from the US government by providing illegal services for free. It isn't even something remotely justifiable like stealing defense intelligence and funneling it to R&D companies to learn how to replicate and counter the tech of rival powers.
In a deep irony China is being more honest since at least they have majority government ownership of the companies!
Fascist BS...? Not sure how to take that comment, nonetheless, the big picture of justification for actions has to be addressed whether it's spying on foreign gov'ts or domestic spying regarding one's own citizenry. Do you not agree? If there is past unjustified intrusions from specific gov'ts, that discussion of "intelligence collection" is legitimate for debate. This should be on everyone's mind since we live in a Constitutionally protected/governed country. Just to head off any confusion, I am not suggesting that our Constitution expands beyond our borders nor does it encompass non-US citizens.
Links? Proof? I have never heard of a single instance.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
Citation please? You say the US government has been caught numerous times. That means you have proof, of course. Convictions of the personnel involved, without a doubt, since such activity is illegal.
And oh, yes, nothing before WWII, since back in the age of imperialism, it was literally every country that could that did that, since local economy WAS power.
I await your undoubtedly speedy release of your proof, since it is so obvious.
Actually, the law says it is the responsibility of the NSA employees (not contractors) to make sure stuff is properly classified.
Take it up with Congress a few generations back, when the classification system was developed, if you don't like the law. Everyone will laugh at you, though - because your idea is stupid.
This just in: Person with proof of massive government wrongdoing smeared by government!
A bullet may have your name on it but splash damage is addressed "To whom it may concern."
The US chain of command was entirely p0wned by people who disrespected the constitution. This is the real lesson of Snowden. No internal whistleblower protection, no Inspector General, no insider system or person would have made it safe for Snowden to come forward. Multiple others tried and all were attacked as though they were the problem. The full apparatus of government took the position that they would violate the constitution and do "what they felt" had to be done. It shakes your faith entirely in the notion of a system of laws.
I'm sure some still believe in an "independent" ombudsman, or something similar. I don't. All are ultimately public servants and beholden to the civil service, the Office of the President, and can be controlled/influenced/pressured. It would take an act of self-sacrifice comparable to Snowden's own, for any civil servant to stand up to the full power and influence of the President. Yes, some might try, but some wouldn't. And most would fail. In the aftermath of 9/11 I feel confident that any insider would fail.
The system proved that it can be owned by personalities and abandon long-held and cherished value systems.
This just in, nothing will make Shadow of Eternity happy until everything burns.
They released every piece of correspondence they could find from Snowden, they would love to point to an instance where he tried to report it and the system failed, however, he never did. But of course, you are so anti government, that they could release every email he ever sent and it wouldn't make you happy.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
None of those routes would have resulted in anything but "complaint dismissed because the NSA's internal investigation says they did no wrong."
In fact, other NSA employees before Snowden did blow the whistle...
You sir are scum.
that everyone that Snowden might have talked to in government thinks what occurred is OK. Ellsberg apparently talked to Sen. Fulbright, seemingly the best hope within government, but that wasn't helpful—he had to go public. NZ would face the same thing—that in extreme cases whistle-blowing to anyone short of the public is useless.
Something was rotten in the state of denmark.
Snowden's revelations caused a huge shakeup in the intelligence community. Such as a federal judge ruling that the NSAs blanket collection was unconstitutional. If things were right beforehand, none of this would have happened
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
http://rareformnewmedia.com/
Who else would you use that can see the secret information to determine if the warrant should be given?
Myself, for starters. If it can't be revealed to the public at all, it's not a legal warrant in my view.
So, stop doing the job that they are asked to do by the government? The NSA is a spying agency, sorry to burst your bubble.
Of course. Stop the job and maybe put a few people in prison after a public trial, of course.
No whistleblower has ever been harmed by the NSA. Disclosing secret and top secret information to foreign governments is not whistleblowing, it is treason. Snowden chose not to blow the whistle and instead commit treason, he is being charged with the crimes he committed.
Fuck you. This lie keeps going. You don't like how Snowden treated the NSA, then don't let the NSA treat whistleblowers like traitors.
If Snowden wanted to be a whistleblower, he should have taken his concerns to congress, not foreign governments.
His way worked. Your way didn't.
Depending on the methods used and the foreign government there may be times where it is not justified.
For Example, hacking the phone of the head of state for a friendly nation was BS and was not justifiable for US Intelligence to do.
Edward Snowden specifically did not blow the whistle. He was trained on the proper method to blow the whistle, and Eric Holder details that method in the article I linked. Whistleblowers don't run to foreign governments that are just as bad or worse at freedom, and in the intelligence industry, people know you take it to congress who has oversight of the intelligence agencies. He chose to run to China, who would disappear someone who did what he did, then to Russia that has killed people for speaking out against the government. Yeah, he is real heroic, running to the people who are so much worse than what he is running from.
Of course. Stop the job and maybe put a few people in prison after a public trial, of course.
Why would ANYONE go to jail for spying? What do you think spy agencies are for? This is literally what we formed the NSA and CIA to do. The NSA also is tasked with securing the US Governments communications, but they are primarily a foreign intelligence agency. Their entire job is to spy on other governments to prevent them doing harm to the US.
Myself, for starters. If it can't be revealed to the public at all, it's not a legal warrant in my view.
So, according to you, we should compromise Top Secret information in order to get permission to stop a plot to hurt people/destroy shit in the US? I am so glad that you have no power, because you have no idea how this works or how it should work. Sources and methods are not meant to be revealed to the general public, as once they are revealed, they are useless in the future. You would have the predicessor of the NSA telling the world that the Enigma was broken in order to get permission to use the information, what kind of freaking moron makes that argument? If Germany found out that the Allies broke Enigma, World War 2 likely would have gone their way.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?

What is needed is a change in culture and attitude on the part of intelligence agencies, so that they are concerned with legality and civil rights and not just the shortest path to the most information.
Anyone who has ever worked in national security can tell you every military and civilian intel agency is extremely careful about the legality of their actions and protecting the civil rights of Americans.
If you only read Glenn Greenwald-esque editorials and opinion pieces, then it's no wonder you have an extremely skewed view of the issues.
Bullshit, I have personally experienced the willingness to twist/interpret something to make it appear legal, not something I was involved with but think about Abu Ghraib Prison and the US Army classifying the events. The laws regarding classification specifically state that classification cannot be used to hide embarrassing information so the classification authority used the tortured logic that if this EMBARRASSING information became public it would endanger US troops (absolutely true) but the real reason it was dangerous is because it was EMBARASSING and it was classified because it was EMBARRASSING.
Or the whole parallel construction crap. I definitely don't believe all the stories but I guarantee that cops are tipped off from illegal information to stop a certain vehicle for any reason possible (broken tail light/illegal lane change/didn't signal trun) and then get permission to search the car and you will find something.

I'll just leave this here.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nikolas-kozloff/nsa-spying-on-petrobras-f_b_3965148.html
Edward Snowden specifically did not blow the whistle. He was trained on the proper method to blow the whistle, and Eric Holder details that method in the article I linked. Whistleblowers don't run to foreign governments that are just as bad or worse at freedom, and in the intelligence industry, people know you take it to congress who has oversight of the intelligence agencies. He chose to run to China, who would disappear someone who did what he did, then to Russia that has killed people for speaking out against the government. Yeah, he is real heroic, running to the people who are so much worse than what he is running from.
Well, as I noted earlier, Snowden's method worked, your "proper method" would have just hid the crimes. And let's face, with the brutal treatment of NSA whistleblowers, we have established, officially, running to a foreign power as a legitimate form of whistleblowing.
Why would ANYONE go to jail for spying? What do you think spy agencies are for? This is literally what we formed the NSA and CIA to do. The NSA also is tasked with securing the US Governments communications, but they are primarily a foreign intelligence agency. Their entire job is to spy on other governments to prevent them doing harm to the US.
I was thinking more prison for violating the US Constitution and treason.
So, according to you, we should compromise Top Secret information in order to get permission to stop a plot to hurt people/destroy shit in the US? I am so glad that you have no power, because you have no idea how this works or how it should work. Sources and methods are not meant to be revealed to the general public, as once they are revealed, they are useless in the future. You would have the predicessor of the NSA telling the world that the Enigma was broken in order to get permission to use the information, what kind of freaking moron makes that argument? If Germany found out that the Allies broke Enigma, World War 2 likely would have gone their way.
I think you're bluffing.
No thanks, you've already chewed all the flavour out of it. And swallowed.
A quick google search turned up this.
And by Glenn Greewald, no less.
I'm not sure why this is so hard to believe. Have you been paying attention to what's going on with governments across the world for the past decade or so? It's not a rosy picture. In fact, it's downright horrific what they're doing.
After that categorical statement to the Post, the NSA was caught spying on plainly financial targets such as the Brazilian oil giant Petrobras; economic summits; international credit card and banking systems; the EU antitrust commissioner investigating Google, Microsoft, and Intel; and the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. In response, the U.S. modified its denial to acknowledge that it does engage in economic spying, but unlike China, the spying is never done to benefit American corporations.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, for instance, responded to the Petrobras revelations by claiming: âoeIt is not a secret that the Intelligence Community collects information about economic and financial mattersâ¦. What we do not do, as we have said many times, is use our foreign intelligence capabilities to steal the trade secrets of foreign companies on behalf ofâ"or give intelligence we collect toâ"U.S. companies to enhance their international competitiveness or increase their bottom line.â
But a secret 2009 report issued by Clapperâ(TM)s own office explicitly contemplates doing exactly that. The document, the 2009 Quadrennial Intelligence Community Reviewâ"provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowdenâ"is a fascinating window into the mindset of Americaâ(TM)s spies as they identify future threats to the U.S. and lay out the actions the U.S. intelligence community should take in response. It anticipates a series of potential scenarios the U.S. may face in 2025, from a âoeChina/Russia/India/Iran centered bloc [that] challenges U.S. supremacyâ to a world in which âoeidentity-based groups supplant nation-states,â and games out how the U.S. intelligence community should operate in those alternative futuresâ"the idea being to assess âoethe most challenging issues [the U.S.] could face beyond the standard planning cycle.â
or here:
According to a 2002 "Information Need" spying order [PDF], the NSA was tasked with collecting economic data from the French government, including details of business contracts, information on the state's macroeconomic policy, it's relationships with international lenders, and any dirt on "questionable trade activities."
A 2012 memo [PDF] is more explicit. It specifies that all economic deals or financing rounds worth more than $200m are to be investigated, with particular emphasis on activity relating to the IT and telecommunications industries, oil and gas production, environmental technologies, healthcare developments, and biotechnology.
This information was not just for the use of the US, the documents note, but would be shared with the other four of the "Five Eyes" nations: the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.
The new release will be a massive embarrassment to the US government, since it has long maintained that the only reason the NSA exists is to spy on evildoers online â" terrorists, organized crime, drug dealers, and the like. That the agency was specifically tasked to go after the economic interests of an ally will cause red faces all round.
What foreign governments? You idiots keep parroting that false, NSA-blessed bullshit as if it made sense. Snowden disclosed to journalists that he trusted to have a dedication to truth balanced with caution, no one else. Don't you read? There is no question about it except in your own fevered personal secret agent flick. Even the NSA knows the steamy mouth-breathing "foreign governments" myth is bullshit, but it's all they got. They can't change now, they're in too deep. And so, for that matter is the US. Look at the GOP presidential contender "debates" and tell me things are getting better.
Anyone who's ever worked in military intelligence or national security knows that every person and boss at every level is doing his best to follow all applicable laws, the constitution, and the bill of rights.
(Posting anonymously and using the appropriate anonymising tools for obvious reasons.)
I worked on some of the NSA systems. It was for a defense contractor, doing work for the agency, not actually in an agency. I can assure you that this is a highly fanciful version of what's actually going on.
The first incorrect assumption is that the staff are Americans. That may be true of the agencies, but it's not necessarily true of the contractors or subcontractors. Many of the people who built the systems are not US citizens, or even located in the US. It's a safe bet that most of the offshore subcontractors for the NSA systems in particular are in "five eyes" countries. Of course nobody wants to go to jail, but US laws, the US constitution, US values, and so on aren't always the most relevant consideration.
The second incorrect assumption is that the staff know enough to be able to make a call on whether it's legal or consistent with values. Most of these agencies have very well-developed firewalls to make sure that no one person knows too much. Any individual piece of a system like PRISM has a hundred reasonable uses. All you're told is that you're going to write this piece of a database system and it has to have these performance characteristics. I don't know how much Chinese or North Korean military communications traffic there is, so for all I know, the specs I've been given are consistent with intercepting and storing that. The number of people who have the full picture (or a key piece of the picture from which it's possible to get the general idea) is relatively small, and those people are already housetrained.
Which brings me to the third incorrect assumption, that an organisation can have a dysfunctional personality that no one individual does. We've all experienced unthinking bureaucracies, don't deny it. Everyone working within the system may be well-meaning (but actually, most are just going through the motions like most employees), but the system as a whole can be rotten.
At the risk of invoking Godwin, Hannah Arendt's concept of "the banality of evil" applies here. Doing great evil does not require you to be a fanatic or a sociopath, it's sufficient to be an averagely stupid person, mostly motivated by local optimisation of your career path.
I'm glad you think that every person and every boss is doing their best to do the right thing. I certainly felt that way at the time. I'd know what I was working on, I would have found a new job very quickly.
I probably would not have brought it to the attention of my superiors or been a whistleblower, especially since I really didn't know anything and had no proof for anything that I suspected. I feel like I'm a good person who does respect all applicable laws, the constitution, human rights, and so on. I feel that I violated them without knowing. I was angry and confused for several months after Snowden indirectly told me what it was I'd been doing. Now I'm just numb and resigned.
Everyone has regrets, but mine is a doozy.
I meant: "If I'd known what I was working on".
Your expectation is that if you discover wrongdoing, you should be the one to do prison time rather than those responsible?
Not at all. My expectation is that if there is something so massive and criminal going on as to be fundamentally treasonous (regardless of the intentions of the people involved) that you feel you have no possible option except for going outside the chain of command and to the *press* to report on something you know will cause harm to your nation's intelligence-gathering apparatus, you should be willing to stay and face the music. It's a question of honor from the individual's perspective and practicality from the country's.
Sometimes you have to break the rules because the rules fail, but if it's important enough to break the rule, it should be important enough to stand up for what you believe in in court. I feel the same way about GWB--he ordered people tortured and should have gone to jail for it, which (if he believed it was important) should have been a price he was willing to pay.
Everyone with half a brain in the IT community knew mass surveillance was going on pre-Snowden, and nobody in the mainstream community believed it could be. Of course there's value to having a democracy know when it's being surveilled by its own government. But if you accept as a premise that nations need to be able to keep secrets, then you simply cannot let individuals decide when to reveal those secrets to the public at their own whim, and certainly not without consequence.
hey released every piece of correspondence they could find from Snowden, they would love to point to an instance where he tried to report it and the system failed, however, he never did. But of course, you are so anti government, that they could release every email he ever sent and it wouldn't make you happy.
There's no evidence the NSA did any such thing. After all, it's a natural claim to make whether or not Snowden did report the host of problems he discovered. And we have Snowden's statement to the contrary that he did try to go through proper channels, and then decided on the current, successful approach after seeing what happened to past whistleblowers.
The obvious problem with unprovable claims from the NSA is that they have already lied about this subject in their favor. Thus, there is no reason to expect them to be telling the truth this time.
We're talking about a group of people proven to be blatantly violating almost every law we have and the constitution. You really think they wouldn't just lie about this too?
A bullet may have your name on it but splash damage is addressed "To whom it may concern."
Snowden isn't a good example.. the man had taken the job with the intentend of finding classified information and bringing it out in the open (and all for his own pleasure/15 minutes of fame (which became a bit more than 15 minutes))..
I think there is a difference between somebody working at a company/institution for many years and stumbeling upon that information, or entering a position and signing a NDA knowingly you're not gonna break the NDA..
In reality Snowden is not a hero, but a traitor (even though 'we' all might think it's a good thing he did), other spies have been shot for much less..
You really have no idea. It's amazing that you think that, and even more amazing that you'd post it for the whole world to see.
You are an idiot. Or a paid shill.
It is completely immaterial who Snowden is. What is important is what the NSA and the GCHQ have been doing. And nobody sane is claiming the documents on that are faked.
Most ACs are not even worth the keystrokes to insult them. Be generically insulted by this and ignored otherwise.
And this is why he had to steal and reveal documents.
So where exactly does it say that the NSA then turned around and provided that information to Exxon?
Spying for economic purposes includes passing the secrets on to companies that can use the data, not just checking up on companies.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
He passed information on to China while there to buy asylum. I can only presume he did the same in Russia, but they are pretty tight lipped about what he has passed onto them.

How would we know? Snowden chose not to use the proper procedures, and all the people who were prosecuted did as well. Leaking classified information to those without a need to know and the proper clearances is a federal crime. Choosing to do that on the hope that you will be seen as a whistleblower is absurd, there are proper procedures for the intelligence community, and they protect sources and methods properly. Leaking to a journalist protects nothing and leads to deaths.
I was thinking more prison for violating the US Constitution and treason.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
I assume that is the constitution you claim they violated. Considering that they had authorization from a federal court (FISA), that could count as a warrant, it was after all a judge ruling that the collection was reasonable, which also satisfies the constitution. Since it has been authorized numerous times since, and has been ruled both constitutional and unconstitutional, how can you say they have done anything against the constitution? The ruling that ruled it unconstitutional has even been overturned.
How did anyone commit treason other than Snowden?
Oran's Dictionary of the Law (1983) defines treason as "...[a]...citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the [parent nation]."
(wikipedia treason article)
So, who did any of that and should be prosecuted?
I think you're bluffing.
Not sure how I am bluffing, I gave an example of what you are asking for and what would have resulted. Smarter people than I have thought of this, that is why there are examples of the allies not using Enigma intercepts despite the loss of life, as it would have revealed the secret. Germany in my understanding did upgrade the Enigma near the end of the war, and it was impenetrable to the allies, but it was already too late and there were other methods of getting the information at that point. This is history, if you want to argue it, talk to a historian.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
The US government kept it secret for weeks. Then the US government made it public, not the spy.. I repeat, real spies NEVER reveal their information publicly.
Moreover, this is arguably an example of the 'few exceptions' I mentioned - it was specifics - the physical location of secret nuclear missiles - not techniques.

FISA is not constitutional due to its secrecy (it does more than merely issue questionable warrants which never see the light of day). That violates the 5th and 6th amendments as well.
How did anyone commit treason other than Snowden?
First, you haven't shown that Snowden committed treason. The worst I've read here is the usual accusation that he had the potential to help China or Russia, but no actual evidence of credible harm to the US or benefit to these countries has been shown as a result of his actions. Second, the NSA actions have harmed US citizens, businesses, and society sometimes to the benefit of other governments both directly by losing business (and jobs and wealth) to foreign enterprises and through the undermining of various encryption standards that US businesses rely on. There has been a substantial tarnishing of the US's reputation at home and abroad. Further, we have government officials lying about the extent of these unconstitutional behaviors and programs to Congress.
Not sure how I am bluffing, I gave an example of what you are asking for and what would have resulted. Smarter people than I have thought of this, that is why there are examples of the allies not using Enigma intercepts despite the loss of life, as it would have revealed the secret.

This is history, if you want to argue it, talk to a historian.
How do you know about the Enigma program? Information doesn't need to be released in real time in order for there to be accountability. But it does need to be released in a timely manner, if we're going to have a democracy which makes good, timely decisions about secret agencies and programs. Enigma didn't need to be revealed during the Second World War, but it would have been criminal to never release information about it at all.
The US has a long history, just with the NSA of hiding everything from the public until it is revealed by another party. Even the very existence of the NSA was kept secret for a quarter of a century until a congressional committee revealed it I'm tired of decades old actions being hidden from me until someone exposes them in an undeniable way.

Let's play a little game:
Department A: We haven't broken any laws. No illegal spying.
Whistleblower B: Department A spied on the American public. I reported this to Department A, but nothing changed.
Department A: Ok, that spying stuff is true, but Whistleblower B didn't report it to us. Here are the records that we control that show no reports from Whistleblower B.
Which of those is more credible?

Nonsense. Australia was caught spying recently over negotiations over northern oil fields.
It's a lie to say he ran to China and Russia. Rather he fled the US and accidentally found himself in China and Russia. Neither of which particularly wanted him, and neither of which he particularly wanted to be in.
