I have been working as a clinical social worker with whistleblowers for 40 years. I have tried to talk about this in my new book, “Don’t Kill the Messenger,” which shows how the laws about keeping secrets will not work with persons of conscience who expose waste, fraud and abuse of power in the NSA and other secret organizations.
These “Insiders” as Jack Anderson called them can not be silenced. They will just pay a higher price to blow the whistle. All of us live in fear of governments who watch our every move and we need to know how far the government goes to listen in on us without a warrant.
