hereIn his first television interview since he resigned from the National
Security Agency over its domestic surveillance program, William Binney
discusses the NSA’s massive power to spy on Americans and why the FBI
raided his home after he became a whistleblower. Binney was a key
source for investigative journalist James Bamford’s recent exposé in
Wired Magazine about how the NSA is quietly
building the largest spy center in the country in Bluffdale, Utah. The
Utah spy center will contain near-bottomless databases to store all
forms of communication collected by the agency, including private
emails, cell phone calls, Google searches and other personal data.Binney served in the NSA for over 30 years, including a time as technical director of the NSA’s World Geopolitical and Military Analysis Reporting Group. Since retiring from the NSA in 2001, he has warned that the NSA’s data-mining program has become so vast that it could "create an Orwellian state." Today marks the first time Binney has spoken on national television about NSA surveillance.
