[liberationtech] 29C3 whistleblower panel: Radack, Drake, Binney

[Gregory Foster]

In Jacob's keynote (~29:50), he encourages participants to attend the 
whistleblower panel later in the day.

29th Chaos Communication Congress (Berlin: Dec 27-30, 2012) - "Enemies 
of the State: What happens when telling the truth about secret US 
government power becomes a crime" by Jesselyn Radack, Thomas Drake, and 
William Binney:

Radack, Drake, and Binney take thirty minutes each to present their 
respective stories - powerful stuff.  Kevin Gosztola's write up gives a 
sense:

Within the first minute of his talk (~1:28:36), William Binney describes 
the legal and intellectual property guidance he received when retiring 
from the NSA to set the scene for an announcement that he has created a 
"commercial product" which describes a software architecture akin to

The Library of Congress defied my search queries.  I didn't find mention 
on the CCC website, wiki, Twitter feeds, etc.  Is this document(?) in 
digital form yet?  Seems like it might be rather interesting.
