Jesselyn Radack (born December 12, 1970) is a former ethics adviser to the United States Department of Justice who came to prominence as a whistleblower after she disclosed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) committed what she believed to be an ethics violation in their interrogation of John Walker Lindh (the "American Taliban" captured during the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan) without an attorney present, and alleged that the Department of Justice attempted to suppress that information. The Lindh case was the first major terrorism prosecution after 9/11.〔Charlie Savage: ''Takeover'', p. 108–109. Little, Brown & Company, 2007.〕 Her experience is chronicled in her memoir, '' TRAITOR: The Whistleblower and the "American Taliban"''. Radack is a national security and human rights attorney, known for her defense of whistleblowers, journalists, and hacktivists. She has spoken in defense of some of the most vilified people in the United States, including National Security Agency whistleblowers Edward Snowden and Thomas Drake, each of whom was charged under the Espionage Act after exposing wrongdoing. Both Snowden and Drake are her clients. Radack has been widely published and quoted regarding whistleblower rights, surveillance, Internet freedom, and privacy. Her writing has appeared in the ''New York Times'', ''L.A. Times'', ''Washington Post'', ''Guardian'', ''The Nation'', ''Legal Times'', and numerous law journals. She frequently appears in the press, including all the major television networks, NPR, PBS, CNN, and the BBC. Radack is the director of National Security & Human Rights at the Government Accountability Project. She was named one of Foreign Policy magazine's "100 Leading Global Thinkers of 2013",〔 was one of 100 worldwide figures pictured in "Justice: Faces of the Human Rights Revolution" and is a visiting Woodrow Wilson Fellow at the Council of Independent Colleges.〔 She has been honored with the “Hugh M. Hefner First Amendment Award" (2011), "Sam Adams Award for Integrity in Intelligence"(2009), and numerous other accolades. She graduated ''magna cum laude'' from Brown University and Yale Law School and began her career as an Honors Program attorney at the U.S. Department of Justice. A regular speaker at governments, universities, and public and private organizations around the globe, Radack explains the ways in which power structures suppress dissent, the value of free speech and privacy, and how ordinary people can change entire industries, agencies, and sometimes the world. == Early life and education == Radack was born in Washington, D.C., and attended Brown University. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa in her junior year and graduated ''magna cum laude'' in 1992 as a triple major in American civilization, women's studies, and political science, with honors in all three majors. Since 1983 when Brown began tracking such data, only one other student has received honors in three concentrations.〔Emily Gold Boutilier, ("The Woman Who Knew Too Much," ) ''Brown Alumni Magazine'', March/April 2004, p.35.〕 Radack graduated from Yale Law School and joined the Justice Department through the Attorney General's Honors Program where she practiced constitutional tort litigation from 1995 to 1999 and then worked in the Department's newly created Professional Responsibility Advisory Office (PRAO) from 1999 to 2002. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesselyn Radack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
