NSA Whistle-blower Says He Has Lost His Livelihood

NSA whistle-blower Russell Tice says his choice to reveal what he says were unlawful acts at the National Security Agency while he was working there "has cost me my career and livelihood."

In a letter to Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Chairman of the House Committee on Armed Services, Tice asks Duncan to "include real whistleblower protections to national security employees in the 2007 Defense Authorization Bill."

"My case, from beginning to end, is a testament to the utter and complete failure of whistle-blower protections for federal employees that work within the most crucial aspects of national security," Tice writes.

...

"The retaliation of the federal government continues against me, but is now being directed by the Department of Justice," Tice writes.

1. Mr. Tice has been forgotten to death

Along with all the other whistle blowers. bushco hasn't given any orders to the press to bring this to the nation's attention - puff

Edit: I assume from the video that Brian Ross did a feature on this during ABC's Nightline. Very good, mark one up for ABC, Nightline.

2. Wake up! The powers simply do not care about protecting Tice.

Most of the "powers" are out to get Tice. Who is there to call the US monsters to account?
