For the people who think the standard avenues for Whistle Blowers are open for people in the intelligence world, look up the name William Binney.

Federal whistle blower protections don't seem to apply if you're blowing the whistle on the Federal Government.

Funny how the media didn't mention let alone compare Binney when manning and snowden were in the spotlight, at least not that I noticed.

I am glad that you posted this. I have never even heard of him. I was in the military when this was happening, so I guess that might have shielded me from the rest of the world. It is a prime example of what happens when you speak out without divulging anything specific. He testified on multiple occasions that the NSA was in direct violation of the constitution, but never cited specifics because he knew what would happen if he did. He was subjected to FBI raid after raid to try and discredit his account and they never found anything, and all charges were dropped. But I have never heard of him, so I bet that there are many people out there that have never heard what he had to say.

Sorry, late to the party. Just watched the video- interesting to say the least.

Contrary to John Cusack's Grosse Pointe Blank, the NSA doesn't have assassins running around shooting leakers. Hell, I think most of the geeks there don't know much about firearms beyond what they see in videogames.
