Действительность подражает искусству
Jul. 10th, 2013 09:36 amВнимание! В прямом эфире! Экранизация 4-й главы "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"! Перемещение Гарри Поттера Сноудена из места, где он потерял защиту в новое безопасное укрытие. Детали перемещения держатся в секрете, на помощь герою спешат семь авиалайнеров...
Тем, кто считает, что Сноуден должен было остаться и "повернуться лицом к музыке (face the music)" - история Томаса Дрейка: In 2005 a senior agency employee named Thomas Drake allegedly gave information to The Baltimore Sun showing that a publicly discussed program known as Trailblazer was millions of dollars over budget, behind schedule, possibly illegal, and a serious threat to privacy. In response, federal prosecutors charged Drake with 10 felony counts, including retaining classified documents and making false statements. He faced up to 35 years in prison—despite the fact that all of the information Drake was alleged to have leaked was not only unclassified and already in the public domain but in fact had been placed there by NSA and Pentagon officials themselves. (As a longtime chronicler of the NSA, I served as a consultant for Drake’s defense team. The investigation went on for four years, after which Drake received no jail time or fine. The judge, Richard D. Bennett, excoriated the prosecutor and NSA officials for dragging their feet. “I find that unconscionable. Unconscionable,” he said during a hearing in 2011. “That’s four years of hell that a citizen goes through. It was not proper. It doesn’t pass the smell test.”) Четыре года человек прожил под федеральным расследованием (удовольствие ниже среднего, можно почитать воспоминания подруги Арона Шварца) и под реальной угрозой посадки, потерял работу и пенсию - за то, что передал газете несекретные документы.
