"Only ten people in American history have been charged with espionage for leaking classified information, seven of them under Barack Obama. "

"Washington has always needed an "ism" to fight against, an idea against which it could rally its citizens like lemmings. First, it was anarchism, then socialism, then communism. Now, it's terrorism. Any whistleblower who goes public in the name of protecting human rights or civil liberties is accused of helping the terrorists."

John Kiriakou is a former CIA analyst and whistleblower. He worked for the agency from 1990 to 2004, including as chief of counterterrorist operations in Pakistan. In an interview in 2009, he became the first former government official to confirm the use of waterboarding against al-Qaida suspects. From 2009 to 2011, John was a senior investigator for the US Senate foreign relations committee. In 2012, he was charged with leaking classified information to journalists; he is currently serving a 30-month prison sentence in Loretto, Pennsylvania

Гардиан такая Гардиан, конечно, но очень похоже на то, что Интернет ограничат. Типа, добрые ангелы, которые его до сих пор охраняли, решили больше не охранять.

Как там у Яцутки, всё нужное надлежит скачать из Интернета до февраля.
