So this guy Russel Tice, a former NSA analyst, the same guy who came out in 2005 with the NSA’s illegal wiretapping ordeal is back. Tice told Keith Olbermann on MSNBC Countdown that not only has the NSA still been conducting warrant-less wire tapping, but that its bigger than we thought. Here’s the video:
6 minutes in Tice says “I don’t know what was done with the data”, which I’m sure is the truth, but can you imagine the possibilities of this sort of operation? Imagine if politicians were spied on and all of their conversations and interactions recorded. The type of dirt that could and would be dug up would be easy leverage to support virtually any sort of legislation the leverager wants.
No one should have that sort of power. I’m seriously blown away by this, its every one of our wildest paranoia about big brother coming TRUE. For years we’ve seen Hollywood run wild with the whole “big brother is watching” idea, and I always laughed it off… you know its just Hollywood. But now, if Tice’s information is correct, its all real.
I’m glad he stepped up, I can’t wait to see where this goes, especially with Obama in control now. This could and should be a defining moment in the earliest stage of his presidency. His reaction to this matter will be the first crucial to step to setting the tone for his presidency.
