This post is, I believe, likely - hopefully! - just a tiny glimpse into what will increasingly emerge as a tsunami of the news we Americans have been deprived of knowing in the "liberal media", which in truth, of course, is the corporate media. With tremendous gratitude for, and in honor of, Russell Tice, I share the resources below. May more and more have the courage to step forward, as Russell Tice has done, to expose the truth of criminal acts done by our government over the past eight years. May truth and justice prevail. And may we all actively and increasingly participate in this collective journey to live up to our country's ideals and to demand change when those ideals are in peril and accountability and justice when they have been violated.

This is without FISA, warrants, or any other Constitutional protections. This isn't even with the BS special situation exemptions the former administration had tried to rationalize.

Russell Tice, one of the whistleblowers who revealed the National Security Agency's program of warrantless domestic wiretapping to the New York Times, now faces the full fury and force of the Executive Branch. His revelation - one that was intensely in the public interest, as it exposed blatant lawbreaking by the President himself - has brought FBI agents to his door.

Well, you know, I raised my hand, just like the president, and my oath was to support and defend the Constitution, not a director of an agency, not a classification on a piece of paper, but ultimately the Constitution. And these things were against the law that were happening. So I was just doing my job, really. ~ Russell Tice, in response to Keith Olbermann thanking Mr. Tice "for doing this for the country".
As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our founding fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake. ~ President Barack Obama
