Teach Peace Moment:
How Illegal Gag Orders Are Undermining Our Democracy
The
26-minute video is presented below as Part 1 and Part 2. The repercussions of
the FBI's power to demand hundreds of thousands of Americans' private records
without any oversight by a court or Congress is explored.
Part 1
Part 2
Two
former Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, Lisa Graves and Bruce Fein, share
their views on how the expanded, unchecked power threatens Americans' privacy
and diverts resources from genuine threats. George Christian of Library
Connection gives his unique perspective as an NSL recipient who challenged the
letter he received and the accompanying, permanent gag order. Christian and
three of his colleagues are the only people, out of thousands of NSL recipients,
who can legally talk about that experience.
