NSA mass surveillance: Jan Albrecht MEP interviews US whistleblower Bill Binney

William Edward Binney is a former highly placed intelligence official with the United States NSA turned whistle blower who resigned in October 2001, after more than 32 years with the agency. Binney is known as one of the best mathematicians and code breakers in NSA history. He resigned because he "could not stay after the NSA began purposefully violating the Constitution.“ Thanks to the revelations by Edward Snowden, documents detailing the top-secret surveillance program have now been published for the first time and corroborate what Binney has said for years.

Binney continues to speak out about the NSA's data collection policies, and gives interviews regarding his experiences and views on interception of communication of citizens by governmental agencies.

On 22 March 2016, a day of numerous bombings that killed several people in Brussels, Bill Binney was a guest in the European Parliament for a film screening of the documentary „A Good American“ by Fritz Moser. Moser’s film tells the story of Bill Binney and his program ThinThread and how this perfect alternative to mass surveillance got ditched by NSA for money – 3 weeks prior to 9/11.
