Lon Snowden on speaking truth to power

This weekend, an op-ed written by Edward Snowden’s father Lon appeared in the pages of Philadelphia magazine. Lon Snowden, a former chief warrant officer with the US Coast Guard, used the article to draw parallels between his son’s actions and those of the Media Eight, who brought COINTELPRO to the attention of the US public by breaking into an FBI field office in Pennsylvania in 1971.
