Salon Magazine, Jesselyn Radick, Whistleblower Protection Act Analysis
Salon Magazine published an article by Jesselyn Radick that mirrors an analysis previously provided on this program regarding President Barack Obama's whistleblower protection claims. The discussion highlights that Presidential Policy Directive 19 did not actually offer Edward Snowden protection, as the provisions were not set to take effect until long after his disclosures. The impact of government eavesdropping on freedom of speech and public behavior is also examined.
