MI5 whistleblower launches defense fund forwhistleblowers
Annie Machon -- an ex-MI5 spy who left the agency after blowing the whistle on the agency's illegal activities -- has launched a fund to offer financial support to other whistleblowers, called the "Courage Fund to Protect Journalistic Sources." Machon left MI5 and disclosed that the agency had illegally spied upon British government ministers, that it had lied in order to send innocent people to jail for bombings in Ireland, had conducted illegal wiretaps, and had worked with MI6 in an assassination attempt on Gaddafi.Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/6nJ4t6Qwnvc/story01.htm
