Biden Administration Seeks 9-Year Sentence for Drone Whistleblower Daniel Hale
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Biden administration is urging a federal court to sentence drone
whistleblower Daniel Hale to at least nine years in prison for leaking
classified information about the U.S. targeted assassination program,
according to a report in the Dissent newsletter. In March, Hale pleaded
guilty to leaking documents about the U.S. drone program, which he
participated in while in the Air Force. He will be sentenced on July 27.
