In Jacob's keynote (~29:50), he encourages participants to attend the whistleblower panel later in the day. 29th Chaos Communication Congress (Berlin: Dec 27-30, 2012) - "Enemies of the State: What happens when telling the truth about secret US government power becomes a crime" by Jesselyn Radack, Thomas Drake, and William Binney: http://youtu.be/nc5i8aROQkk?t=34m36s http://events.ccc.de/congress/2012/Fahrplan/events/5338.en.html Radack, Drake, and Binney take thirty minutes each to present their respective stories - powerful stuff.

so I have that technology, it's on file, basically, with the Library of Congress, we have a copyright on it, so it's open to anybody for $45 you can get a copy, or you can go to the people here at the conference, they have, I gave them copies, you can get copies from them. So it lays out an architectural framework the entire process for how to automate an analysis business process across the entire process, whatever you're looking at, whatever kind of data you're doing because this applies to everything: stock market exchange, money exchange, you know, travel, phone calls, emails, Twitter, cloud, Facebook, whatever! So the point is, that this is the kind of, this whole process will give you an idea of what's really going on and the scale of what's happening.

The Library of Congress defied my search queries. I didn't find mention on the CCC website, wiki, Twitter feeds, etc. Is this document(?) in digital form yet?
