Spies Like Us

Olbermann is talking to former NSA analyst Russell Tice about Bush's wiretappalooza. Now that Bush is gone, Tice is coming forward with details of the NSA wiretap program.

Turns out the NSA pretty much put everyone's communications in a huge basket and fished through it 24/7/365, specifically "news journalists and reporters" under the guise of "Well, we're collecting this pile of communications so that we spcifically won't look through it" when it turned out that was the pile they were saving.

Somebody needs to put this guy in front of a big Congressional hearing immediately. I kinda feel bad for him. The Right is going have a field day with him. Still...you don't have to wield a gun to be a patriot.
