More Claims From NSA Whistleblower Russell Tice
eldavojohn writes "Russell Tice, former NSA employee & whistleblower, has revealed yet more details claiming that wiretapping was combined with credit card data to target civilians. He also suggests the CEOs of major companies hold the truth: 'To get at what's really going on here, the CEOs of these telecom companies, and also of the banking and credit card companies, and any other company where you have big databases, those are the people you have to haul in to Congress and tell them you better tell the truth.' Will Congress follow his suggestions?"
This adds to information revealed by Tice last week that the wiretaps targeted journalists in particular.
Two appearances with no evidence/verifiable information. One more, Tice, and you will be /ignored.
Whether or not there is some sort of god, I'm not supposed to say/god is a word and the argument ends there-Smog
Everything he did, whether you agree with his tactics or not, was to fight terrorism/protect the country.
No, this is incorrect. He did a great deal that had nothing to do with terrorism / protect the country. He screwed up environmental regulations, politicized the judiciary and US attorneys, mismanaged the economy badly, screwed the budgets, totally bungled the response to Katrina, destroyed our foreign policy, entangled church and state, and reduced human rights in the US and abroad.
I don't think he was evil as much as he was incompetent, short-sighted, and selfish. He put the priorities of a select few (his friends, both political, personal, and financial) far and away before the priorities of the country.
I expect Obama to be confronted by the same conflicts, doubts, and difficulties faced by Bush. But I expect him to make far better decisions and implement them in far better fashion. He could hardly do worse.
The more people I meet, the better I like my dog.
And you obviously missed that fact that he said these words while accepting the democratic nomination. He wasn't even in the White House and yet the Oceans and the Earth, THAT DAY, began to respond to his divine will. Or so he would like to think.
Charlie Manson had a greater sense of humility.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
Did he vote or just press 'present'?
