Most of the violations appear to have come from human error as opposed to deliberate intent. The American Civil Liberties Union has criticized the NSA for releasing the documents on Christmas Eve, saying the timing suggests officials wanted to minimize their impact.

Goodman: New York Times investigative reporter James Risen has appeared in court and refused to answer questions about his alleged source. The hearing in Virginia took place ahead of the trial of former CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling, who is accused of giving Risen classified information, which revealed a botched CIA plot to disrupt Iran's nuclear program. Risen has waged a seven-year legal battle against the Obama administration's attempts to subpoena him and force him to reveal his source. It's unclear if Risen will be forced to testify at Sterling's trial. Risen's hearing comes as the administration has backed off on a threat to subpoena another journalist, "60 minutes producer" Richard Bonin, at a trial over bombings by al-Qaeda. "The New York Times" reports the U.S. attorney in Manhattan Preet Bharara, has withdrawn his recommendation to subpoena Bonin over his interactions with al-Qaeda's press office (during a bid to interview Osama bin Laden) in 1998.

LINKTV 09/25/2015
Goodman: NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald and other privacy activists have launched a new campaign to establish global privacy standards. The proposed international treaty on the right to privacy, protection against improper surveillance and protection of whistleblowers would require states to ban mass data collection and implement public oversight of national security programs. The treaty would also require states to offer asylum to whistleblowers. It is being dubbed the "Snowden treaty." Edward Snowden spoke about the need for the treaty via teleconference from Russia at Thursday’s launch in New York. Snowden: This is not a problem exclusive to the United States or the national security agency or the FBI or Department of Justice or any agency of government anywhere. This is a global problem that affects all of us.
