A WHISTLEBLOWER has made a series of extraordinary claims about how corrupt government officials allowed Pakistan and other states to steal nuclear weapons secrets. Sibel Edmonds, a 37-year-old former Turkish language translator for the FBI, listened into hundreds of sensitive intercepted conversations while based at the agency's Washington field office.

About Facebook

In The Nation, Ari Melber says, "When one of America's largest electronic surveillance systems was launched in Palo Alto a year ago, it sparked an immediate national uproar. The new system tracked roughly nine million Americans, broadcasting their photographs and personal information on the Internet; 700,000 web-savvy young people organized online protests in just days. Time declared it 'Generation Y's first official revolution,' while a Nation blogger lauded students for taking privacy activism to 'a mass scale.' Yet today, the activism has waned, and the surveillance continues largely unabated."

In an editorial for The New York Times, Kirk Johnson writes: "Politics might be stuck in the slow lane, but science, capitalism and American culture and society are decidedly not, and all are making creative end runs around the gridlock. Mr. Obama's call in his Iowa victory speech - for 'a coalition for change that stretches through red states and blue states' - evokes an earlier time in America, but it also suggests a future that may be unfolding no matter what politicians like him say or do."
