"Silenced" The Film That Explores the Human Toll of Obama's Crackdown on Whistleblowers/Democracy Now

Published on Apr 24, 2014

http://www.democracynow.org - How far would you go to tell the truth? That is the question posed by the new documentary "Silenced," which follows three national security whistleblowers who fight to reveal the darkest corners of America's war on terror while enduring the wrath of a government increasingly determined to maintain secrecy. The three are former Justice Department lawyer Jesselyn Radack; former senior National Security Agency official Thomas Drake; and former CIA officer John Kiriakou. On the heels of the film's premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, we speak with director James Spione about the extraordinary lengths the government has gone to in order to wreak havoc on the whistleblowers' personal lives through a sustained campaign of intimidation and harassment.

1. Thanks, KoKo......

I copied it to my site of notable videos I keep saving. You should consider buying Paul Craig Roberts new book How America Was Lost, which just came out. I can't put it down.

5. K&R… Thank you very much, KoKo...

There are far too few threads to call attention to the real news around here.

By the way, Democracy Now! is a great thing to support.

Sources of News going from general to specific for any mention of this are Al Jazeera, Democracy Now! and the ever raging truth seeker, Mike Malloy on the internet.

7. It is said that ''art imitates life.''

Sometimes it portends life and we find the spectacle too fantastic to be believed.

- Until it is a faît accompli.
