Russ Tice, Bush-Era Whistleblower, Claims NSA Ordered Wiretap Of Barack Obama In 2004

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/2 ... 73538.html

So it appears just about anybody is included or was included in wire taps of phones.
Russ Tice, a former intelligence analyst who in 2005 blew the whistle on what he alleged was massive unconstitutional domestic spying across multiple agencies, claimed Wednesday that the NSA had ordered wiretaps on phones connected to then-Senate candidate Barack Obama in 2004.

Speaking on "The Boiling Frogs Show," Tice claimed the intelligence community had ordered surveillance on a wide range of groups and individuals, including high-ranking military officials, lawmakers and diplomats.

"Here's the big one ... this was in summer of 2004, one of the papers that I held in my hand was to wiretap a bunch of numbers associated with a 40-something-year-old wannabe senator for Illinois," he said. "You wouldn't happen to know where that guy lives right now would you? It's a big white house in Washington, D.C. That's who they went after, and that's the president of the United States now."

    I'm sure it was just to see if the Choom Gang was involved in any terrorism.

    Shouldn't we be tapping the phones of all Kenyan Marxist Manchurian Candidates who hate America and are plotting to destroy it from within? That just seems like good national security to me.

    I wouldn't doubt it. All this wire tapping crap took off under Bush. Him and Obama should be ashamed of themselves. I understand its all safety, but it is kinda bullshit.
