A program being implemented by the Obama administration titled "Insider Threat" requires millions of federal employees to keep a close watch on each other—a "sweeping" effort to crackdown on whistleblowers and leakers across the U.S. government, McClatchy reports Friday after obtaining a series of government documents.

The program, which has largely gone unmentioned in the media, spans all government agencies and mandates that employees and their superiors seek out “high-risk persons or behaviors” tied to someone who might expose government wrongdoing. Those who fail to expose someone they belief to be a leaker face penalties that include criminal charges.

As McClatchy reports Friday, the program creates a "sweeping" government-wide crackdown on federal employees who may find certain harmful actions or policies of their employer worthy of public knowledge.

The program was launched in October 2011 directly after Army Pfc. Bradley Manning leaked military documents that exposed U.S. war crimes to the website WikiLeaks.

“Hammer this fact home . . . leaking is tantamount to aiding the enemies of the United States,” says one of the documents—a June 1, 2012 Defense Department strategy written for the program.

As the documents reveal, any "leaks to the media" are officially "equated with espionage," through the administration's eyes.

The socialist in chief at his stupidest.

We should see how well this works out within the government, if all goes well America should impose a similar program upon the American population to seek out those that would speak outwardly against the government.

You’re truly a partisan moron and hack.

Leaking classified information has been a Federal crime long before the current administration:

18 USC § 798 - Disclosure of classified information

(a) Whoever knowingly and willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available to an unauthorized person, or publishes, or uses in any manner prejudicial to the safety or interest of the United States or for the benefit of any foreign government to the detriment of the United States any classified information…

18 USC § 798 - Disclosure of classified information | Title 18 - Crimes and Criminal Procedure | U.S. Code | LII / Legal Information Institute

Clearly you’re not advocating the Obama DOJ not enforce Federal law.

 

[lynn63]

Do they mean disclosure of classified information that incriminates the government of wrongdoing to the people they govern?

My how very USSR.

Do the snitches get rewards? Just think of the potential if you hate your boss or a co-worker. Oh wait.
This program wouldn't be abused would it now?

No. No one would ever abuse a system to target someone they didn't like would they?

Maybe your state representatives but forget about the federal ones. No one in the federal govt gives a damn about america. All federal congressmen take bribes every time they cast a vote.

We must return to states rights. That's what the constitution says.
