NSA Wiretapping Whistleblower
Kagu writes "ABC News is running a short piece about an interview with former NSA Employee Russell Tice and his allegations that the NSA wiretaps are more pervasive than believed and used in ways he believes violated the law. "
Of course you will. Disbelieve whatever the President says and believe whatever his enemies say.
I would suggest that the reason he couldn't be bothered was because the veep is in fact the one running the show and he told him not to.

Indeed. Here is a site I would recommend, even while it may not accomplish any goals, other than getting the word out that there are like-minded people, and we SHOULD impeach this president.
This president has gotten away with some terribly henious things, and really hasn't accounted for ANY of them.
President Clinton was impeached, and I sincerely doubt that there were half as many people who were really upset about what he did with Lewinsky as who care about what Bush is doing. Yet he keeps on slithering away and things keep deteriorating.
Even if you voted for him the SECOND time, you have to admit that we're losing our freedoms rather quickly, and even when people like this former NSA 'employee' are standing up and trying to slap us in the face and get our attention. I commend this man for his bravery at standing up and displaying anger and disgust publicly. This is what I call patriotic.
I've noticed a rather alarming trend among other websites I've seen carry this story. A large number of the editorials are questioning the legality of the infringement of our constitutional rights. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't believe I need to be one to know that there is definately something wrong with this whole situation. If it is "legal" we need to have the supreme court take a closer look, and if that produces nothing, have congress rewrite the laws. Now if in fact, by some bizarre reinterpretation of the constitution this is justified as legal for this to BE taking place - as I'm pretty sure they're not pulling the plug on this one just because someone blew a little whistle - there are still plenty of other impeachable .

You're nothing; like me.
And using them in ridiculous comparisons to US policy is sad.
But, why use logic and reasonwhen you can rely on hyperbole and loaded language?
How pathetic are you that you follow me from topic to topic and waste all your mod points at once modding me down?
And what falsehoods would those be? Oh, I know 99% of /. believe that "Bush lied about WMDs." But that's just not the case. Even assuming that Saddam had decommissioned his WMD collection (of which there is little evidence), and not shipped them off to Syria (of which there is some evidence), then we are still stuck with the matter of whether that's a "lie" or not. I submit that at worse, it's a mistake, a misconception.
Keep in mind, I hope the WMD are gone, and gone for good, not just to Syria. But the question remains, Saddam did have and use them - where are they now? Maybe he used up his stockpile.
I'm sure you have other examples of "lies" though, so feel free to vent.

Well, I think if Bush were to go, Cheney would be watching his ass like crazy. Once you've got one down, what's stopping you from kicking the next screw-up out? Not much unless he completes the police-state while the whole country is now paying close attention; a feat no politician is smooth enough to pull off.
You're nothing; like me.
