Truth as treason

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

08/01/13

If I were to use the phrase 'When Truth Was Treason,' you might think that I was referring to the cases of Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden. Your assumption, of course, would be entirely reasonable given that that s what they did, they disclosed the truth about the U.S. national-security state s lies, crimes, and secret surveillance schemes, for which they have been labeled as criminals and traitors. But actually the phrase is the title of a fascinating book about a group of teenagers in Hamburg, Germany, who disclosed the truth about the operations of their government during the midst of World War II and who were labeled criminal and traitors for having done so...
