The Espionage Act:

And we're still not going after the corrupt and incompetent {the World waits}, in the executive branch at the time, in the congress at the time, and the corporate controlled types like L. G. Michael Hayden, who didn't take his military oath of service as serious, unlike Drake, who sought to create their own needed intelligence while also turning the government into a private enterprise of bottom line wall street capitalism as they all profited greatly in the wake of 9/11!

Why Tom Drake was indicted

May 22, 2011 - Nearly two years before 9/11, America's largest intelligence agency had recordings of three of the al Qaeda hijackers plotting an attack. But the information, obtained by the National Security Agency, wasn't analyzed in a way that could uncover the plot.

Inside the super-secret NSA, several analysts and managers believed the agency had a powerful tool that might have had a chance to head off 9/11. But it wasn't used.

One of those agency insiders was Thomas Drake, who thought taxpayer money was being wasted on useless intelligence gathering projects while promising technology was ignored.



Drake tried to get the word out. But now, as a result, he has been charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 and if convicted of all charges could spend the next 35 years of his life in prison. The government says he betrayed his country.

Drake says the only thing he betrayed was NSA mismanagement that undermined national security. {continued}
