"2013: Year of the Whistleblower and More"--Sam Sacks with Reporters

2013: Year of the Whistleblower and more

RT America


As 2013 draws to a close, RT's Sam Sacks takes a look back at the most important stories of the year with the people who brought us those stories. Former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden led the pack of whistleblowers making news, but he was far from the only one making headlines this year. Liz Wahl discusses the trial and sentencing of Army whistleblower Bradley Manning (now known as Chelsea), as well as the story of jailed CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou. Anastasia Churkina takes a look back at the Boston Marathon bombings and her five-part special report on the detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Ramon Galindo remembers the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas and brings us the latest on the ongoing protests against the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an historic free-trade agreement under negotiations
