Students,
First: I couldn't arrange for the library visit tomorrow. So we will meet in class usual. The agenda will be the same.
Second: I thought that the documentary by Laura Poitras about NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden (Citizenfour) was available on youtube. It isn't, so I want you to watch another, shorter interview with him. Here is the link Short general interview with Ed Snowden.
I also asked you to find one of several documentaries about ex-CIA spy turned whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, whose release of the Pentagon Papers rocked the world during the Vietnam War. Here is a link to one such film: Daniel Ellsberg
Last: Please read this Wikipedia entry about whistleblowers: Whistleblower. Consider the way individuals have been attacked, and how the government has sometimes refused to provide promised protection, especially when aspect of official crimes have been exposed.
See you tomorrow.
