I assume you are not saying that what Tice stated is okay because 'it's old news'???
Obviously there are people other than Snowden and Tice who are extremely concerned, people who have some idea of what is still going on. People like Ron Wyden who has been trying to warn the American people for a very long time.
And finally, after all the warnings we have been getting, from other Whistle Blowers, from members of Congress, with nothing being done, at least now it is out in the open again and it is clear that something must be done about it.
The President appears to understand that now. But words won't be enough anymore. He knows that Congress is going ahead with bills to begin to address these egregious abuses put in place by Bush and I hope he is not hoping that his statements today will stall those bills. They should NOT and he should join those members of Congress in finally getting started to begin to dismantle this enormous threat to this democracy.
