Robert Deitz

Former General Counsel, NSA

Former Senior Councillor to CIA Director

The NSA programs are tightly controlled. The NSA is probably the most heavily investigated agency in the federal government. It simply isn't true that NSA is a bunch of lawless cowboys.

William Binney

NSA Whistleblower

Former Technical Director, NSA

Since 2011 the analysts internally at NSA have been complaining that they’re overburdened with data and they can’t see the forest for the trees.

Faisal Gill

Surveilled by NSA

Former Senior Policy Adviser, DHS

The NSA absolutely should not be spying on folks like me...there is less of a standard to get a warrant on me than there would be if I’d committed a robbery, an assault or anything else.

Faisal Gill
