Today we feature one of Edward Snowden’s lawyers – JAMEEL JAFFER, he heads the ACLU’s Center for Democracy, which houses the organization’s work on national security, free speech, privacy, human rights, and technology. He went to court to challenge the Patriot Act’s “national security letter” provision, the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program, and the National Security Agency’s call-tracking program. He’s the guy who won the release of the Bush administration’s “torture memos.”
Also: SUE HALPERN talks about Glenn Greenwald and his critics–she’s a regular contributor to The New York Review and editor of NYRB Lit–and she’s a scholar-in-residence at Middlebury. She wrote about Greenwal’d book “No Place to Hide” for the New York Review: HERE.
