Goodman: A new report by The Intercept news site reveals the National Security Agency is secretly providing troves of data to nearly two dozen government agencies using a Google-like search engine. Documents from Edward Snowden revealed that for years the NSA has made data directly available to domestic law enforcement agencies like the Drug Enforcement Administration and FBI. The search tool known as ICReach contains information on both foreigners and millions of US citizens who’ve not been accused of wrongdoing. It’s designed to share more than 850 billion phone, email and web records. That’s more than twice the number of stars in the Milky Way.

Goodman: you recently reported U.S. military has banned the intercept, the news site. You cite a portion of an e-mail sent to staff last week at a U.S. Marine Corps base that directs employees not to read The Intercept. It reads in part: “We have received information from our higher headquarters regarding a potential new leaker of classified information. Although no formal validation has occurred, we thought it prudent to warn all employees and subordinate commands. Please do not go to any website entitled “The Intercept” for it may very well contain classified material.” “Viewing potentially classified material (even material already wrongfully released in the public domain) from unclassified equipment will cause you long term security issues. This is considered a security violation.” -- your response.

Goodman: In Sweden, The Right Livelihood Awards have been announced for five recipients, including NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The head of The Right Livelihood Award Foundation Ole von Uexkull says Snowden was honored for exposing illegality by his own government. von Uexkull : We decided on five laureates this year and they all live up to the idea behind the award to offer real courageous, practical solutions to global challenges. Snowden is living up to this ideal in the same way that earlier laureates have when it comes to criticizing his own government as this government is breaking the law. Goodman: Snowden's prize will go toward his legal fund.
