"NATION OF SECRETS" - PBS FRONTLINE: Whistleblowers + Snowden & Greenwald ....Years of Govt. Spying [View all]

[KoKo]

(Reposting because some here don't seem to understand the Whistleblowers who tried to break Government Spying on Citizens before Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald released documents and why they felt it was important for them to do so. This would be excellent background for those who haven't followed closely to catch up with why what Snowden revealed is so very important to the health of our Democratic Republic Nation going forward.)

It's two hours long and next week is Part Two. It was Excellent Watch about the NSA Spying, how it expanded under Bush, how he lied about it, the persecution of Whistle Blowers, NYT holding up story of illegal Bush spying until after the 2004 Election so the people wouldn't know, Obama's broken promises to reign it in and Greenwald and the Snowden Document release.

*WARNING* ...It's overwhelming to watch the whole two hours in one sitting. (It's like watching a thriller movie) Good to break it up in segments.
