| Subject: FBI criminals narrow in on 'second Edward Snowden' whistleblower Wed Oct 29, 2014 8:41 pm | |
| The FBI has reportedly raided the home of an "extremely principled and brave" whistleblower working for a US contracting firm, thought to have been inspired by security contractor Edward Snowden to continue his work.
The existence of a "second Snowden" was first suspected by authorities when information about the US government's master terrorist screening database surfaced online in August, months after Snowden had already fled the country.
In an article on news site The Intercept titled "Barack Obama's Secret Terrorist-Tracking System, by the Numbers", Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Devereaux interpreted the information - which they attributed to a "source in the intelligence community" - to show almost half the people on terror watchlists had no known affiliation with any terrorist group.
