NSA Spied on Journalists, Other Americans 24/7 Doug Thompson - Capitol Hill Blue go to original
| Former NSA analyst Russell Tice appears on Countdown With Keith Olbermann on MSNBC | | Russell Tice, a former analyst for the uber-secret National Security Agency, says former President George W. Bush's warrantless wiretapping program including spying on millions of Americans, including journalists, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Tice, appearing on Countdown with Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, says Americans were targeted under the pretense of profiling them for elimination from the NSA's high-tech surveillance programs but - in fact, the agency was keeping tabs on the day-to-day lives of American citizens who have no connection with terrorism.
Tice specifically identified journalists as a target of the expanded NSA spying but said others groups were targeted as well. |
