Otro NSA Whistleblower habla hacia fuera
Domingo 1 de julio de 2007
Por David Swanson Un miembro anterior de los E.E.U.U. la inteligencia militar ha decidido a revelar lo que ella sabe sobre espiar warrantless en americanos y sobre fijar de la inteligencia en el leadup a la invasión de Iraq. Adrienne Kinne describe un incidente apenas antes de la invasión de Iraq en la cual un fax entró en su oficina en la fortaleza Gordon en Georgia que pretendió proporcionar la información en la localización de armas iraquíes de la destrucción total. El fax vino del congreso nacional iraquí, grupo opuesto a Saddam Hussein y a favorecer una invasión. El fax contuvo los tipos de información que requirieron que estén traducidos y transmitidos a presidente Bush en el plazo de 15 minutos. Pero Kinne había estado escuchando detras de las puertas en dos trabajadores no gubernamentales de la ayuda que conducían en Iraq que eran aterrados y que intentaban encontrar seguridad antes de que las bombas cayeran. Ella se centró en intentar protegerlos, y fue reprendida para retrasa en traducir el fax. Ella entonces desafió a su oficial responsable, baya de Juan del oficial de la autorización, en la credibilidad del fax, y él le dijo que no fuera su lugar o el suyo para desafiar tales cosas. Ningunos de los otros 20 o gente en la unidad preguntaron tan cualquier cosa, Kinne dicho. Kinne fecha este incidente al período momentos antes de la invasión oficial de Iraq o posiblemente enseguida después de. Ella dice que porque los E.E.U.U. engancharon tanto a bombardear antes de la invasión oficial, ella no puede recordar para seguro. Antes del 11 de septiembre de 2001, Kinne dice, era inaceptable escuchar adentro encendido o recoger la información sobre americanos. La práctica fue barrada por el directorio de la inteligencia de las señales de Estados Unidos (USSID) 18. Kinne recuerda un incidente en 1997 en el cual el nombre de un americano fue mencionado, y ella y sus colegas suprimieron cada expediente relacionado porque ella tomó muy seriamente la interdicción en recoger la información sobre americanos. Kinne servía a partir de 1994-1998 en servicio activo como lingüista árabe para la inteligencia militar en la fortaleza Gordon en Georgia, el enviar divulga a y colaborando con el NSA. Ella sirvió en la misma estación después de 9-11 cuando la activaron como reservista. Kinne dice que post-9-11 ella y otras recogió rutinariamente la información sobre la gente incluso después de identificarla como trabajadores de la ayuda para las organizaciones no gubernamentales. A common rationale was that the phones of such organizations could conceivably be seized by terrorists. She recalled one case in which she was listening to an American talk to his British colleague in an international aid organization. The Brit expressed concern about the American military eavesdropping, and the American replied that they couldn’t possibly be doing that because of USSID 18. Kinne recalls that her colleagues got quite excited and behaved as if the American had divulged secrets by mentioning that directive. They continued eavesdropping on the man although they were unclear at that point whether they were permitted to spy on Americans. Shortly after this incident, however, in mid-2002, they were given a waiver to spy on Americans. This waiver was communicated to Kinne and her colleagues orally, and she assumed that it had come from the President or someone very high up. The waiver, she says, also permitted spying on Canadian, French, German, Australian, and British citizens without probable cause. Many of the people, including Americans, whom Kinne spied on were journalists. These included journalists staying at a hotel in Baghdad that later showed up on a list of targets. Again, Kinne says, she expressed concerns to her officer in charge, letting him know that the military should be informed or the journalists should be warned to move to another location. Kinne says Berry brushed her off. He was, she says, “completely behind the invasion of Iraq. He told us repeatedly that we needed to bomb those barbarians back to kingdom come.” Berry was promoted to Chief Warrant Officer. Kinne left, went back to school, and took a job at the Veterans Administration helping some of the victims of the fixing of intelligence that she had witnessed. And early this year she joined a tour of Vermont with activists Cindy Sheehan, John Nichols, Dan DeWalt, and veterans of the war, a tour promoting the passage of impeachment resolutions in Vermont towns, a tour that helped effect the passage of those resolutions in over 40 towns up and down the state. Kinne found the experience “life-changing”, and she’s now decided to tell everything she knows, and to encourage others still in the government to speak out and release documentation. “I wish that I had said something back then, but I don’t think people would have listened,” Kinne said. Kinne, who now works for the VA at White River Junction, Vermont, said that she has written to Senator Patrick Leahy, who has not replied to her. Kinne has become active in Iraq Veterans Against the War. She said that the news of the current escalation of the war also helped move her to act. “That’s the only reason why I am choosing to break whatever rules I may have just broken by telling you about it,” Kinne said. “Because I think that this all needs to stop, and it needs to stop now. And the only way it’s going to stop is if people start speaking out.” Have Your Say: Another NSA Whistleblower Speaks Out Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
