(62,325 posts)been going on, or are you actually serious that you think the people who were outraged back then were outraged when NO ONE was held accountable? THAT is why these abuses have continued, and gotten worse.
It seems to me you have no clue what has been revealed or you could not have posted this comment.
Ron Wyden, you think he did not know about Tice, and Binney and Drake and Udall and Grayson??
You want to know why no one here was complaining?? You missed Drake's prosecution did you??
Unbelievable.
Are you aware that back then Congress PROTECTED the crimes Tice revealed??? THAT is why people here keep claiming it is 'legal'. It was an outrage. What did you want people to do, to continue the level of outrage they expressed over this right up to the 2008 election?? We DID and have done, as have every Civil Liberties Org since then.
We had to deal with the TSA, did you miss that also?
