NSA Surveillance of American Citizens...Status? |
|
I've ck'd on-line but have found no information about a change in this policy under the Obama Administration. I think we all remember recently seeing Keith Olberman interview Russell Tice, NSA Whistleblower, who alleged not only surveillance of American citizens but 24/7 targeting of specific journalists. I am curious because I just read an article which reported Mr. Tice's claims; however, also put forth the idea that perhaps the reason Tice was allowed to do the rounds of the newspapers and TV stations was an NSA ploy w/nefarious intent, suggesting that far from being simply a disaffected employee, he might be either a knowing or unknowing part of a media strategy by the NSA. If the NSA can put this down to a period of bad leadership and bad policy, it might be allowed to get on with what it does relatively unhindered in the Obama era.

1. I've heard of no order to dismantle the listening rooms at AT&T, etc |

so I assume that their still recording every phone call made. Especially since they were given retroactive immunity by our compliant congress. :grr:
