Heidi Boghosian on Spying and Civil Liberties
November 8, 2013
On Thursday a New York Times article reported that the CIA has been paying AT&T more than $10 million a year to access the telecommunications giant’s
phone records — including Americans’ international phone calls. It’s the
latest in a series of reports over the past few months on US spying
allegations in the name of counterterrorism.
Executive director of the National Lawyers Guild, Heidi Boghosian, joins Bill for a conversation on what we all need to know about surveillance in America. Boghosian, author of Spying on Democracy: Government Surveillance, Corporate Power, and Public Resistance,
says the government is working with corporations to illicitly spy on
virtually all of us, not just suspected terrorists or the Angela Merkels
of this world. “They are hand-in-hand working to gather information
about Americans as well as people across the globe, to really be in a
race to collect more information than any other country can.”
