NSA Whistleblower: 'Everyone in US Under Virtual Surveillance'

The FBI records the e-mails of nearly all United States citizens, including members of Congress, according to NSA whistleblower William Binney. In an interview with RT, Binney warned that the government can use this information against anyone.

Binney, one of the best cryptanalyst-mathematicians and code breakers in the history of the National Security Agency (NSA), resigned in 2001 after serving 30 years with the agency.

Binney claimed he no longer wanted to be associated with alleged violations of the Constitution, such as how the FBI engages in widespread and pervasive surveillance through powerful devices called 'Naris.'

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHT TOPIC DISCUSSION: Virtual privacy in the United States, the Petraeus affair, and [any] whistleblowers' odds in the fight against official authorities.

RT: "Under the Code of [Spy] Ethics, your former colleagues -- they probably look upon you as a traitor. How do you look back at them?"

BINNEY: "Oh, that's pretty easy! They're violating the foundation of this entire country -- our entire foundation of how -- why this entire government was formed. It's founded with the Constitution and the rights given to the people in the country under that Constitution. They're in violation of that. And, under Executive Order 13526, § 1.7, governing [National Security Information] classification, you cannot classify information just to cover up a crime -- which this is. And that was signed by President Obama -- also, President Bush signed an earlier Executive Order -- a very similar one. If any of this comes into the Supreme Court and they rule it unconstitutional, then the entire "house of cards" of the government falls. The government is doing the best they can to try and keep it out of court, and of course, we're trying to do the best we can to get in to court. So, we just thought it deserves a ruling from the Supreme Court -- ultimately. The Court is supposed to protect the Constitution. All of these people in government take an oath to defend the Constitution and they're not living up to their oath of office."

"Arguing that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." ~Edward Snowden
