Drone whistleblower Daniel Hale, with his cat, Leila, in Dec. 2020.

Daniel Everette Hale is an [[American]] intelligence analyst who is charged with leaking secret documents,[1], having sent classified information about drone warfare to the press.[2][3][4][5][6]

Hale, who held the rank of airman, when he worked for the US Air Force later worked as a contractor for the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA).[7][8]

The Associated Press noted that Jesselyn Radack, his lawyer, specialized in defending whistleblowers.[8] Radack described Hale as a "classic whistleblower".

On May 19, 2019, the day he pled not-guilty, reporters speculated that Jeremy Scahill, of The Intercept, was the reporter he is alleged to have linked to, and that Scahill used the leaked documents for a widely admired espose on the US use of missile-armed unmanned aerial vehicles, in Pakistan.[9][7][10][11]

NPR reported in May, 2019, that, if convicted Hale could receive a sentence of up to 50 years.[7] Hale's sentence, announced in July, 2021, was for three years.[12]

In 2021, Hale pled guilty to retaining and transmitting national defense information and was sentenced to 45 months in prison. As of October 2021, he was incarcerated at United States Penitentiary, Marion, Illinois, with a scheduled release date of July 5, 2024.
