ABC is lower than the belly of a road-killed rattler and a little less useful.

more than likely they were sucked into that vacuum," Tice said.

He looks like he was involved in the NSA's "Ice Cream Vacuum" program.

When is his book coming out?
He must have been held to some sort of confidentialty agreement that he must be breaking.

Tice is not the real source of the leak, either. He was just a convenient scapegoat, who probably even volunteered to take the heat off the real leaker(s).

Bingo!

TICE IS NOT THE WHISTLEBLOWER.

HE IS JUST THE FALLGUY FOR DEMOCRAT SENATORS WHO NEVER THOUGHT THAT THEY MIGHT GO TO JAIL.

"As far as I'm concerned, as long as I don't say anything that's classified, I'm not worried," he said.

It's classified for him to say that nothing he said was not classified.

Is using a computer to eavesdrop on phone calls wrong? The computer only flags those calls with the key words (such as jihad) and sends those for extra scrutiny.

Did they eavesdrop on everyone's phone calls? Not really.

That is the the issue here.

"The mentality was we need to get these guys, and we're going to do whatever it takes to get them," he said.

And he has a problem with that?

Even Dick Morris has the sense to see this story as a plus for Bush. These lib morons are so distracted and disjointed tha they can not focus on anything.
LIKE THE FACT THAT TWO BUSH SCOTUS NOMINEES WILL BE SITTING ON THE COURT FOR 25 YEARS OR MORE! ..... MORONS!

Most everything he "reveals" could have been learned by reading "The Puzzle Palace" 20 years ago.

The statement below needed to be earlier in the story.

The NSA revoked Tice's security clearance in May of last year based on what it called psychological concerns and later dismissed him

I guess this lardass didn't have this "mentality" and that is why he's now a FORMER employee of the NSA. It's called "getting rid of all the dead wood." Adios Fatboy!!!!

Does someone have the impression there were other leakers?

Anything confirmed?

Spilling the details of classified programs to the New York Times is NOT whistleblowing. Whistleblowers go to administration officials or maybe to Congress. Not the Slimes.

EXACTLY! I doubt this guy was even in anything substantial. Sounds like he read the book to find out what his coworkers were doing while he worked in the NSA cafeteria.

But the poster stated that NSA employees could not use whistleblower status. That was what I was asking a source for.
