Why We Need WikiLeaks
EVIDENCE
USA's spy agency, NSA, conducted mass surveillance on entire country (actually, more than one country ... but let's focus on Afghanistan)
James Clapper says: 'untold damage'
Well, he would say that to justify US mass surveillance of entire countries in the free world & mass surveillance of free Americans. Duh!
Director of National Intelligence,
James Clapper:
killed ‘important’ program in
/ unnamed 'Intercept' country = Afghanistan
UPDATE
It was the WikiLeaks follow-up identification of Afghanistan as country being surveilled that led to surveillance program closure/rejection by Afghanistan:
In March 2014, The Washington Post, citing documents provided by Snowden, reported on a program called MYSTIC, under which the NSA was collecting “every single” phone conversation in a foreign country. The Post, following requests by U.S. officials, withheld the country’s name.
Two months later, the Intercept news site published a similar story about the NSA’s “secretly intercepting, recording, and archiving the audio of virtually every cell phone conversation” in two nations. The site named the Bahamas as one country. It refrained from naming the other, citing concerns that doing so “could lead to increased violence.”
Soon after, “the program was shut down by the government of Afghanistan,” said Clapper, speaking at the Intelligence and National Security Summit in Washington.

NO words for the suppression of truth by the corporate and 'alternate' corporate press:
- Washington Post
- The Intercept
It's anger provoking to see information denial and abuse of state power, in black and white.
WikiLeaks was the only publisher that gave the world: the truth.
PS
It's just occurred to me that the US spies on Japanese leaders, and European politicians and corporations, as well as entire countries.
So if the public is told that a surveillance program has been rejected by a vanquished state, does anyone really believe there's genuinely been follow-through from the US-appointed Afghan government or from USA?
On consideration, I really don't buy that they're done spying on Afghanistan.
