Google Admits Handing Over Private WikiLeaks Emails to U.S. Government 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Google has revealed it secretly gave the U.S. government the email
messages and metadata of three top members of the whistleblowing
organization Wiki Leaks — investigations editor Sarah Harrison,
section editor Joseph Farrell, and spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson, a
longtime Icelandic journalist. The U.S. government requested the
information in 2012 as part of an alleged conspiracy and espionage
investigation targeting Wiki Leaks founder Julian Assange.
