The CIA's "Intelligence Authorization Act" Would Criminalize Whistleblowers And Reporters

A CIA-written Bill called the Intelligence Authorization Act (SB 3153) would criminalize whistleblowers and reporters.

Section 733 Sense of Congress on WikiLeaks:

"It is the sense of Congress that WikiLeaks and the senior leadership of WikiLeaks resemble a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors and should be treated as such a service by the United States."

 Ron Paul clarifies the real reason for this bill:

"The measure is designed - in the CIA's own words - to prevent the kind of transparency that was provided by Wikileaks. It is a war on the free press!"

 House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff is once again 

putting the interests of the intelligence agencies in concealing their misdeeds [criminal activities] ahead of protecting the rights of ordinary Americans

 by criminalizing routine reporting by the press on national security issues and undermining congressional oversight in his Intelligence Authorization bill,” Daniel Schuman, policy director, of Demand Progress said.
