I have heard privacy activists and WikiLeaks curators like Renata Avila, Sarah Harrison, and Angela Richter discuss a hypothetical Truth Commission by the US government. A truth commission would be a special counsel of experts appointed by the government to review past government wrongdoing, in this case the persecution of whistleblowers in the last decade. The "original" Truth Commission, which inspired this idea, was held in South Africa. It was appointed by the post-apartheid government in order to expose the atrocities of apartheid to the public. It held public testimonies and investigated past human rights abuses. Obviously it is very unlikely under recent US administrations that anything like this could ever take place, let alone for any government to hold themselves accountable in any way. However I'm just interesting in knowing your opinions on this. Who could the US appoint to fairly investigate this? How could any reparations be made whatsoever?
