Leaking the Drone Papers!

It seems that a new leak has sprung in the Obama Administration.

The Drone Papers

Another Snowden? Manning? A disgruntled employee or a disillusioned idealist turns on the hand that fed them.

I wonder if the discussion in the press will be, WHO is the Source! or Is state sanctioned murder really murder?

And why is congress not protecting the principle of Equal Justice?

Who are these fucking people anyway?

ACLU demands CIA disclose drone program details after document leak

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) pressed ahead on Monday with a lawsuit to compel the CIA to turn over basic details about the US program of clandestine drone warfare, a week after startling contours of the program emerged in a new leak by an anonymous intelligence source.

The ACLU lawsuit seeks summary data from the CIA on drone strikes, including the locations and dates of strikes, the number of people killed and their identities or status. The ACLU also is seeking memos describing the legal reasoning underpinning the drone program.

None of the summary strike information is currently available to the public, which instead must rely on estimates compiled by analysts and journalists, based on reports on the ground.

“The case is really about the public’s right to know, the right of access to information about this very controversial set of policies,” said Jameel Jaffer, deputy legal director of the ACLU. “At this point the enemies of the United States already know that the CIA is carrying out drone strikes. The only effect of the kind of secrecy we’re seeing now is to keep Americans in the dark about their own government’s policies.”

Okay, why is this not in the US press?
