Bush-Era Spying Targeted Journalists
Russell Tice, the former National Security Agency insider turned whistleblower who initially broke the story of the NSA’s illegal wiretapping to the New York Times in 2005, appeared on MSNBC this week to reveal that the Bush administration’s warrant-less spying targeted journalists and American news agencies.
Tice says that during his time at the agency, much of the NSA’s efforts went into eavesdropping on phone calls and computer activity not of terrorists, but of American reporters, members of the media, and ordinary citizens.
