FBI Identifies 2nd NSA Leaker
A so-called second leaker of classified government documents that
outline the U.S.’s terror-watchlist system has been identified by the
FBI, according to law-enforcement and intelligence sources. An Aug. 5 article titled “Barack Obama’s Secret Terrorist-Tracking System, by the Numbers”
and published on The Intercept—an investigative website founded by
Edward Snowden’s confidant Glenn Greenwald—revealed a database of the
government’s master screening list, half of which was made up of U.S.
citizens with “no recognized terrorist affiliation.” The data was as
recent as August 2013, months after Snowden, the NSA contractor who
leaked thousands of top-secret documents, had revealed his identity and
fled to Hong Kong, sparking speculation that there was a second
intelligence insider involved with the leaks.
