National Security Agency deleted data it promised to keep for court proceedings
theblaze.com
Recent court documents show the National Security Agency destroyed surveillance data it promised to preserve for pending lawsuits, Politico reported.
The content in question relates to internet communications intercepted between 2001 and 2007 under the orders of then-President George W. Bush...
NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake, a former senior staffer at the agency... called the deletion “no accident.”...
Drake and other NSA whistleblowers – among them Bill Binney, J. Kirk Wiebe, and Edward Snowden – have long said the agency conducts surveillance and gathers data on Americans without court orders. And they have faced heavy fallout for speaking out.
Binney and Drake were both raided by the FBI after criticizing the NSA, according to many published reports. Drake faced espionage charges, one of the few cases of its kind, after the NSA accused him of mishandling government documents. The charge was later dropped.
Binney is a former senior technical director, crypto-mathematician, and intelligence analyst who helped design surveillance systems for the NSA. He quit the NSA weeks after the 911 terrorist attacks when he learned the agency was using his software to gather intelligence on Americans without court orders.
