Jan 17th 2014 – We’ve mentioned things in the past like former NSA and CIA director Michael Hayden "jokingly" talking about how he’d like to put Ed Snowden on a "kill list" while simultaneously suggesting that the NSA should be a part of determining who to target. While some would dismiss this as a tasteless "joke" it seems like he’s not the only one in the intelligence community with such thoughts. We just recently noted that reporter Steven Levy, who spent over two hours interviewing NSA officials, had said that they appear to have a real and passionate hatred towards Snowden.

January 14, 2014 – “I am proud and honored to welcome Edward Snowden to Freedom of the Press Foundation’s board of directors. He is the quintessential American whistleblower, and a personal hero of mine,” said FPF’s co-founder Daniel Ellsberg. “Leaks are the lifeblood of the republic and, for the first time, the American public has been given the chance to debate democratically the NSA’s mass surveillance programs. Accountability journalism can’t be done without the courageous acts exemplified by Snowden, and we need more like him.”
13. Januar 2014 – "Die Amerikaner haben uns belogen"
Das geplante No-Spy-Abkommen der Bundesrepublik mit den USA droht zu scheitern. Bundesregierung und BND erwarten nicht mehr, dass die Vereinigten Staaten auf die Überwachung von Deutschen verzichten werden. Die Verbitterung ist groß.
13. Januar 2014 – "Keinen erkennbaren Einfluss": Ein politisches Forschungsinstitut in den USA stellt der massenhaften Telefondatensammlung durch den Geheimdienst NSA ein vernichtendes Zeugnis aus. Ermittlungen würden meist durch andere Methoden angestoßen.
January 13, 2014 – Secret NSA eavesdropping is still in the news. Details about once secret programs continue to leak. The Director of National Intelligence has recently declassified additional information, and the President’s Review Group has just released its report and recommendations.
With all this going on, it’s easy to become inured to the breadth and depth of the NSA’s activities. But through the disclosures, we’ve learned an enormous amount about the agency’s capabilities, how it is failing to protect us, and what we need to do to regain security in the Information Age.

January 8, 2014 – These two pieces, the first by Marcy Wheeler, in part commenting on the second by Amy Davidson in the New Yorker (along with Snowden himself, in his interview with Bart Gellman) are the first I’ve seen making a point I’ve been making for years: contrary to the frequent assertions in the last week (including by Fred Kaplan) that Snowden is particularly reprehensible because he "broke his OATH of secrecy," neither Snowden nor anyone else broke such a secrecy "oath."
January 7, 2014 – Stealing J. Edgar Hoover’s Secrets: One night in 1971, files were stolen from an F.B.I. office near Philadelphia. They proved that the bureau was spying on thousands of Americans. The case was unsolved, until now.

January 7, 2014 – In a memo to President Obama, former National Security Agency insiders explain how NSA leaders botched intelligence collection and analysis before 9/11, covered up the mistakes, and violated the constitutional rights of the American people, all while wasting billions of dollars and misleading the public.

January 2014 – The signatories of this declaration call upon nation states to take action. Intelligence agencies must be subjected to transparency and accountability. People must be free from blanket mass surveillance conducted by intelligence agencies from their own or foreign countries. States must effectively protect everyone’s fundamental rights and freedoms, and particularly everyone’s privacy.
