Journalist Barrett Brown on Prison, Leakers, and Private Intelligence Agencies




Reason Podcast show

Summary: Barrett Brown was just released from prison last November after four years behind bars for, among other things, posting a series of videos in which he appears to threaten an FBI agent. How things escalated to that point in the first place is a complicated matter involving email hacks, drug addiction, and the murky world of private intelligence contractors.
