Whistleblower Claims NSA Spied On Everyone, Targeted Media

JCWDenton writes "Former National Security Agency analyst Russell Tice, who helped expose the NSA's warrantless wiretapping in December 2005, has now come forward with even more startling allegations. Tice told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on Wednesday that the programs that spied on Americans were not only much broader than previously acknowledged but specifically targeted journalists."

First?

Either I am first or the NSA is really on top of things.

Don't be ridiculous. The NSA isn't monitoring your private communications, Mr. Rowland...uh, I mean anonymous coward.

Credibility

Over the next several months, however, Tice was frustrated in his attempts to testify before Congress, had his credibility attacked by Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh, and was subpoenaed by a federal grand jury in an apparent attempt at intimidation.

That says it all. If Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly can't believe him, then who else in their right mind would.

There's an email from a old friend I accidentally deleted. Maybe I could get a copy from the NSA?

Of all the biases exhibited here at Slashdot---and there are many!---the bias favoring low-id users is probably the most idiotic.

[QRDeNameland]

Oh wow, how illogical of me to assume there's an implication in calling someone a cretinous imbecile that they shouldn't be listened to. Thank you, now I'm clear on the disntinction, you cretinous imbecile.

I disagree, and I have a much lower ID, so I'm right.

I'm a windows 95 user, so I am only able to consider critiques from users numbered below 65534.
