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?

[Anonymous Coward]

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

Credibility

[unlametheweak]

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.

Oh, good

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

I believe, sir, that you have an extraneous "else" in line 1.

If there was any justice in the world...

Then Katie Couric would be in Gitmo as a result of this program.

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

If you think that posting anonymously is going to hide you from the NSA, well, nevermind, we'll discuss this over coffee while I question you about your knowledge.

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

That has got to be the most stupid thing I've ever heard.

Give it a shot. Just pick up your phone and ask them when you hear the dial tone.

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.

Oh yeah? Well I agree that being biased towards low UID numbers is incredibly stupid, and my UID is lower than yours so that means I'm... wait... Damnit.

Yes, Obama here is exactly right. Obama makes an excellent point about the very important username bias issue, and I think Obama should be rewarded with many positive moderations, or possibly just start out with a +5, Insightful on each post.
