Diane Roark

Diane Roark is an American whistleblower who served on the House Intelligence Committee from 1985 to 2002.[1] Along with Ed Loomis, William Binney, and J. Kirk Wiebe, she filed a complaint to the Department of Defense's Inspector General about the NSA's secret Trailblazer Project.[2] Her house was raided by the FBI in 2007 after she was wrongly suspected of leaking to New York Times reporter James Risen[3] in a story about NSA warrantless surveillance.[1] This led to her suing the government in 2012 because they did not return her computer, which they had seized during the raid, and because the government allegedly failed to clear her name.[4]
