DoD Expands Concerning Insider Threat Program to Contractors http://www.pogo.org/blog/2016/06/dod-expands-concerning-insider-threat-program.html While this change addresses a valid concern that classified information pertinent to our national security must be protected, the Project On Government Oversight and other good governance organizations fear it will be used to target whistleblowers. ITPs threaten whistleblowers' ability to report waste, fraud, and abuse because they do not differentiate between genuine threats and those who are acting in the interest of the public ... snip ... aka, embarrassing gov. agencies is considered a worse threat than any foreign adversaries. whistleblower posts http://manana.garlic.com/~lynn/submisc.html#whistleblower also from article In a PowerPoint presentation given by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) at their internal insider-threat webinar, titled "Simple Steps and Guidance to Secure Classified Networks," ODNI placed NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake in the same "insider threat" category as the Fort Hood and Navy Yard shooters, Nidal Hasan and Aaron Alexis.
