Excerpts from DemocracyNow. Here some quotes:
"The Obama administration, if they're not supporting this, they need to do something about it. If they are, well, then that's serious, and they need to answer questions about what on earth they're doing continuing this business with Erik Prince's Christian crusader force." - Jeremy Scahill
"Ironically, Obama has presided over the most draconian crackdown on leaks in our history—even more so than Nixon." - Gabriel Schoenfeld
"It is now apparently a federal crime to report illegalities, malfeasance, fraud, waste and abuse perpetrated by our own government. The government is making whistleblowing a crime. They are making dissent a crime" - Thomas Drake
"However, that pales in comparison to what is being done to Tom Drake, who they're threatening to imprison for telling the truth." - Jesselyn Radack
