Whistleblower Claims NSA Spied On Everyone, Targeted Media

Posted by timothy on from the puzzle-palace dept.

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."

    Christiane Amanpour Ã" a question

    Any plans to fix the problem with quotes, dashes & other characters in the posts, Jamie? I don't think it's always been like this but will you explain to me what the Ã" means in your quote?

    You have no idea how annoying it is to pick through a copy/paste of something to find these damned "non-ascii?" characters. You seriously can't handle these characters or scrub/translate them for users? Very annoying and ugly.

    Calling him a cretinous imbecile is not an ad hominem. Saying that he shouldn't be listened to because he's a cretinous imbecile would be an ad hominem.
