how we know right here on the hill what the real focus is russia snowden journalists or even the n.s.a. leaks i mean clearly he's done incredibly think that he's done incredible an incredible amount of damage to the security of this country there does seem to be something else going on i mean with all the kind of fear mongering him and shade that's being thrown at sochi from the u.s. media you have seven people tweet pictures of hotel room experience suddenly it's a giant catastrophe at sochi with these terror threats that we've seen for two weeks all along the state department has routinely said we don't have any direct threats to the olympic games and yet you keep seeing that pushed even congressman mccaul on sunday he was a republican on the house homeland security committee so there's going to be a detonation somewhere in russia during these these olympic games so there seems to be something else operating here beyond. the back for snowden who knows man i just seems really crazy and you know when the media is lockstep in coverage and the narrative you just have to question what's the smok

n.s.a. documents leaked by edward snowden as well as an interview with a. former drone operator we now know that the cia and pentagon rely primarily on cell phone tracking to determine acceptable drone strike targets sort of compiling intelligence from human sources threats or determine through the n.s.a.'s cell phone location and sim card tracking programs the problem is that the intended target an original owner of the phone does not always correspond to the people that ends up with it the cell phone owner can unwittingly give the phone to a friend or family member or target's aware of the tracking will purposely mix up their sim cards so that the n.s.a. doesn't know which phone belongs to whom the drone operator who declined to be identified but once the bomb lands or night raid happens you know that phone is there we don't know who's behind it who's holding it it's of course assume that the phone belongs to a human being who's nefarious and considered an unlawful enemy combatant this is where it gets very shady he or she goes on to say they might have b

about how this mythology fits into the concept of willful blindness of wired to edward snowden the n.s.a. leaks well so i think whistleblowers are really interesting because as you say there's a lot of mythology around what you typically find with whistleblowers is that they're mostly not crazy they're not anti social they're not weird. actually what you find is that they're fantastically dedicated committed individuals you know what what upsets know about what he found was that snooping on citizens felt to him so american i'm sure he would describe himself as a profound patriot and in many cases of whistleblowing what you find is that these are incredibly dedicated loyal committed people who are just stroll by the fact that the organization that they are is not living up to the principles that they espouse very often and i know this wasn't the case but very often with many whistleblowers what happens is they try to get attention to the problem through the proper channels and of course if they succeed we never hear about that right there was a nasty ending stories it's when they're endlessly ri
