Hi there,

This month, Democracy Now! marks 29 years of fearless independent journalism. Presidents have come, gone and come back again, but Democracy Now! remains, playing the same critical role in our democracy: shining a spotlight on corporate and government abuses of power and raising up the voices of scholars, advocates, scientists, activists, artists and ordinary people working for a more peaceful and just world. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today in honor of our 29th anniversary. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Intercept Begins Releasing Trove of Internal NSA Newsletters

HeadlineMay 17, 2016

And The Intercept news site has begun releasing a trove of internal newsletters from what it says is the most significant division of the National Security Agency. The documents from the Signals Intelligence Directorate date back to 2003. In addition to more mundane details about employees’ vacations, The Intercept says the internal newsletters, which were leaked by Edward Snowden, reveal details about how the NSA helped pave the way for the Iraq War, and how its personnel worked alongside the CIA and other agencies on interrogations at Guantánamo.
