War on Whistelblowers ~ British Government forces the Guardian to destroy Snowden files

Alan Rusbridger, editor for the Guardian, justified why they chose to comply with the government's request, and Josh Levy, Internet campaign director for Free Press, joins us with his take on the British government's request.
