“Why should anyone trust a government that has condoned torture, spied on at least 35 world leaders,
supports indefinite detention, places bugs in thousands of computers all over the world, kills innocent
people with drone attacks, promotes the post office to log mail for law enforcement agencies and
arbitrarily authorizes targeted assassinations? Or, for that matter, a president that instituted the Insider
Threat Program, which was designed to get government employees to spy on each other and ‘turn
themselves and others in for failing to report breaches,’ which includes ‘any unauthorized disclosure of
anything, not just classified materials.’” — Professor Henry Giroux
