When Whistleblowers\u00a0Tell the Truth They’re Traitors. When Government\u00a0Lies It’s Policitcs.\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n

(ANTIMEDIA<\/a>)\u00a0<\/i>Immediately after Wikileaks released thousands of documents revealing the extent of CIA surveillance and hacking practices, the government was calling for an investigation \u2014 not into why the CIA has amassed so much power, but rather, into who exposed their invasive policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cA federal criminal investigation is being opened into\u00a0<\/i>WikiLeaks\u2019 publication of documents<\/i><\/a>detailing alleged CIA hacking operations, several US officials,<\/i>\u201d\u00a0reportedly<\/a>\u00a0told\u00a0CNN<\/i>.<\/p>\n

According<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0USA Today<\/i>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inquiry, the official said, will seek to determine whether the disclosure represented a breach from the outside or a leak from inside the organization. A separate review will attempt to assess the damage caused by such a disclosure, the official said<\/i>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Even Democratic representative Ted Lieu, who has been urging whistleblowers to come forward to expose wrongdoing within the Trump administration, has turned his focus away from what the documents exposed and toward determining\u00a0how it could have possibly happened.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI am deeply disturbed by the allegation that the CIA lost its arsenal of hacking tools,<\/i>\u201d he\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0while calling for an investigation. \u201cThe ramifications could be devastating. I am calling for an immediate congressional investigation. We need to know if the CIA lost control of its hacking tools, who may have those tools, and how do we now protect the privacy of Americans<\/i>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to Lieu\u2019s statements, the problem isn\u2019t necessarily that the CIA is spying on Americans and invading innocent people\u2019s technology without consent. It\u2019s that the CIA mishandled their spying tools, and in doing so, endangered Americans\u2019 privacy by exposing the tools to presumably \u2018bad actors.\u2019 The problem isn\u2019t the corrupt agency violating basic privacy rights, but that they weren\u2019t skillful enough to keep their corruption under wraps.<\/p>\n
