Choose Your Political Adventure!

Your story begins...

...at NSA headquarters. You are a spiffy dude.

One day, a high-ranking colleague hands you a stack of papers and asks you to deliver it to another office. Along the way...

"Mr. President: These pictures will convince
Senator D-- to support your re-election campaign. Heh heh heh!"

Oh no! The President is blackmailing politicians to win re-election!

What do you do?
• Nothing. Follow orders.
• Blow the whistle through the proper channels.
• Go to the press.

Heathrow Airport, Part Deux

Reactions to the Heathrow airport incident continue to pour in along with more information: namely that David Miranda, the partner of Glenn Greenwald, is on the Guardian payroll [Amnesty Int'l] and was carrying documents from documentary filmmaker Laura Poitras intended for Mr. Greenwald [NY Times]. Whether that makes Mr. Miranda a journalist or not (there will be needless debate, I'm sure), there can be no doubt that this was an attack on investigative journalism. Authorities, in their determination to squelch any further embarrassments, are willing to intimidate not just nosy journalists like Mr. Greenwald, but their associates as well. Never mind that Mr. Greenwald has done nothing illegal. So who HAS done something illegal? Edward Snowden, allegedly. Mr. Greenwald, an associate, is once removed, and Mr. Miranda, an associate of Mr. Greenwald, is twice removed. That means that UK authorities, like the NSA, are now targeting individuals "two hops" from alleged criminals. So you might want to tighten up your circle of friends.
