As the U.S. vows to take "all necessary steps" to pursue whistleblower
Edward Snowden, James Bamford joins us to discuss the National Security
Agency’s secret expansion of government surveillance and cyberwarfare.
In his latest reporting for Wired magazine, Bamford profiles NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander and connects the dots on PRISM,
phone surveillance and the NSA’s massive spy center in Bluffdale, Utah.
Says Bamford of Alexander: "Never before has anyone in America’s
intelligence sphere come close to his degree of power, the number of
people under his command, the expanse of his rule, the length of his
reign or the depth of his secrecy." The author of "The Shadow Factory:
The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the
Eavesdropping on America," Bamford has covered the National Security
Agency for the last three decades, after helping expose its existence in
the 1980s.
