Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Former NSA Contractor Charged with Stealing Classified Documents

HeadlineOct 06, 2016

The FBI says the agency secretly arrested a former NSA contractor from the company Booz Allen Hamilton in August, after he allegedly stole highly classified NSA computer codes. The contractor, Harold Martin, has been charged with theft and unauthorized removal or retention of classified documents. He worked for the same company, Booz Allen Hamilton, as NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The U.S. government claims he had thousands of pages of classified documents, as well as hardware and multiple computers at his home. The U.S. government does not know whether Martin has leaked the information or given it to other governments or entities.
