Wiretap Whistleblower, a Life in Limbo?

Newsweek has an interesting report on Thomas M. Tamm, the individual who blew the whistle on the Federal Government's warrantless wiretaps. The piece takes a look at some of the circumstances leading up to the disclosure and what has happened since. "After the raid, Justice Department prosecutors encouraged Tamm to plead guilty to a felony for disclosing classified information — an offer he refused. More recently, Agent Lawless, a former prosecutor from Tennessee, has been methodically tracking down Tamm's friends and former colleagues. The agent and a partner have asked questions about Tamm's associates and political meetings he might have attended, apparently looking for clues about his motivations for going to the press, according to three of those interviewed."

Yes, and my cock is 3 inches long too. But that, like you, and your comment, are irrelevant to what I posted.

Oh, and another fact is that you've outed yourself as an illiterate. If you read what I wrote, and stop reading what you wish I wrote, you'll see that my comment is nowhere as broad as you think.

Or, are you going to argue that GW Bush is not in fact a member of the Republican party?
