Patriot Snowden - WHERE ARE HIS HUMAN SHIELDS???? I'd be Honored to Serve some of his time, if they don't kill him, first. And, I hope I'm human enough to take a bullet for him, if it came to that.

After Multiple Denials, CIA Admits to Snooping on Noam Chomsky

thecable.foreignpolicy.com

For years, the Central Intelligence Agency denied it had a secret file on MIT professor and famed dissident Noam Chomsky. But a new government disclosure obtained by The Cable reveals for the first time that the agency did in fact gather records on the anti-war iconoclast during his heyday in the 19...

Close Guantanamo

Here's John Grisham's important New York Times op-ed about ‪#‎Guantanamo‬, focusing on the case of Nabil Hadjarab, an Algerian orphan, long cleared for release, who may be returned to Algeria instead of being given a new home in France, where he has relatives.

Obama implies Snowden had whistleblower protections, but experts say that’s not the case.
