Do you remember when you first reached out to journalists?

Yeah, I would say it was January of 2016.

I told them, essentially, this, greetings on an FBI counterterrorist

image who spent over a decade in the fight, I have serious and legitimate concerns about their tactics in the Muslim community as it pertains to

an intimate, baseless investigation, intimidation of prospective informants and institutional policy that turn up blind eye to the daily denial of the most basic freedoms we all hold dear.

It is my sincere hope that sharing this information with you will help protect a lot of very vulnerable,

fearful, threatened people.

From New York Times, I'm Michael Obaro. This is a daily.

Twenty years ago, in the days after September 11th, the United States announced a wide ranging and unprecedented war on terror.

Today, Janet Reitman tells the story of Terry Aubrey, an FBI agent so disillusioned by that war, that he was willing to leak classified documents and go to prison

for doing it.

It's Thursday, September 9th.

Janet, tell me about the first time you met Terry Aubrey.

It was in November of 2018. It was about five days or so before he went to prison.

Let's look at that there.

Let me just talk.

I met Terry in Berkeley very early in the morning. It was about five in the morning.

I'll take some notes as well.

We sat in my hotel room and spent five hours having a really in-depth interview.

What is in the case? In the case is open for 10 years. What does that mean when it?

I'm really trying to get away now because I'm going to take a little bit of time.

I remember he seemed quite nervous.
