6:12Now PlayingFour journalists who revealed the National Security Agency's vast web of spying have been awarded the 2013 George Polk Awards in Journalism. Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras, Ewen MacAskill of The Guardian and Barton Gellman of the Washington Post were among the winners announced on Sunday. Even as the journalists who broke the stories based on Edward Snowden's leaks were awarded one of journalism's highest honors, a lawyer who represents Snowden was recently detained while going through customs at London's Heathrow airport. Jesselyn Radack joins us today to tell her story. Radack says she was subjected to "very hostile questioning" about Snowden and her trips to Russia. Radack also learned she might be on an "inhibited persons list," a designation reportedly used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to require further vetting of certain passengers. Radack is just one of a growing number of people who are being stopped, harassed, and interrogated for their work around Snowden, WikiLeaks, and National Security Agency documents. Radack is the Director of National Security & Human Rights at the Government Accountability Project, the nation's leading whistleblower support organization.
