As always Fire Dog Lake’s Kevin Gosztola is on top of the latest news, developments and implications involving government whistleblowers and transparency. Here are a few excerpts from Mr. Gosztola’s latest article:
For over a month now, members of Congress have been engaged in a bipartisan offensive against “leaks.” The offensive was launched after details on Obama’s “kill list,” cyber warfare against Iran and the CIA underwear bomb plot sting operation in Yemen became public information. The offensive yielded the appointment by Attorney General Eric Holder of two US attorneys to investigate two of the “leaks” (no attorney was appointed to investigate how details on a covert drone program were released) yet this has not satisfied politicians and Congress people from both the Democratic and Republican Party in the US continue to introduce and speak out in favor of proposals to clamp down on the free flow of information.

I will be at FireDogLake Book Salon this evening (Saturday, June 30, 2012). The two-hour session will be hosted and moderated by Kevin Gosztola. We’ll be discussing and taking your questions and comments on my memoir Classified Woman, the persecution and prosecution of government whistleblowers, government censorship and excessive secrecy, and more! Mr. Gosztola is one of the most respected experts on these issues. He has been covering these topics for years through sound and objective analyses and articles at FDL. FDL has consistently supported government whistleblowers and truth-tellers, and has done so without any partisanship spin or angles. It is an honor to be there and have this opportunity.
The session will start at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern).You can register and join the discussion session here.

You can read our coverage here, here, and here. We also produced a video report on POGO begging the obvious question: Who’s Watching the Watchdogs: Read more
