“I differed as a whistleblower to Snowden only in this respect: in accordance with the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act, I took my concerns up within the chain of command, to the very highest levels at the NSA, and then to Congress and the Department of Defense. I understand why Snowden has taken his course of action, because he’s been following this for years: he’s seen what’s happened to other whistleblowers like me. By following protocol, you get flagged – just for raising issues. You’re identified as someone they don’t like, someone not to be trusted. In November 2007, I was raided by a dozen armed FBI agents.”
