On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin goes over the testimony of one former drone operator, who is responsible for taking part in over 1,600 targeted assassinations, and examines why a majority of Americans continue to support the use of drones despite their low success rate. Abby then talks to Michael Ratner, attorney for Julian Assange, and president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, about a new documentary entitled 'We Steal Secrets' and how it offers an unfair portrayal of Assange and Wikileaks. BTS wraps up the show with a closer look at individual behind the NSA leak, Edward Snowden, and speaks with Firedoglake journalist, Kevin Gosztola, about the media coverage of the leak, Snowden's motivations, and the larger implications on privacy.
