Among the many things Jeffrey Sterling’s defense was not permitted to mention at his trial was that CIA had thwarted his Equal Opportunity lawsuit by invoking State Secrets over many of the same materials that would be used to convict him. Even while it was suppressing that detail in one courtroom, CIA was invoking it in another to successfully win dismissal of another African-American man’s Equal Opportunity lawsuit.
For Whistleblowers, Journalism and Democracy
Launched by the Institute for Public Accuracy in June 2014, ExposeFacts.org represents a new approach for encouraging whistleblowers to disclose information that citizens need in order to make truly informed decisions in a democracy. From the outset, our message is clear: “Whistleblowers Welcome at ExposeFacts.org.”
ExposeFacts aims to shed light on concealed activities that are relevant to human rights, corporate malfeasance, the environment, civil liberties and war. At a time when key provisions of the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments are under assault, we are standing up for a free press, privacy, transparency and due process as we seek to reveal official information—whether governmental or corporate—that the public has a right to know.
