The House is set to review a bill to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the nation’s warrantless surveillance program exposed by Edward Snowden. Additionally, this week, imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will find out in a two-day appeal hearing if he will be extradited to the US, where he faces life in prison for publishing classified documents exposing U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Kevin Gosztola, curator of TheDissenter.org newsletter & co-host of the podcast Unauthorized Disclosure, discusses the ongoing danger of Section 702, the status of Assange’s case, and the ‘lawlessness’ of the US government.
