NSA Eavesdropping Whistleblower Is a Mental Case
Posted by Dave Blount at January 12, 2006 6:47 AM
Russell Tice, the NSA employee who was apparently a source for the NY Times' latest attempt to cripple the President and undermine our defense against Islamic terrorism, turns out to be a head case with an ax to grind. The NSA revoked his security clearance last May because of "psychological concerns," demoting him to the motor pool before finally canning him.
It looks like NRO's Stephen Spruiell was right to warn last week that Tice might be a source for the Gray Lady's domestic spying kerfuffle — and that he is hardly a paragon of reliability.
Tice hasn't been keeping the best of company. Apart from consorting with NY Times reporters, he is a member of the group National Security Whistleblowers Coalition. Fellow member Ray McGovern made the news when he participated in an absurd kangaroo court, at which Rep. John Conyers (Moonbat-MI) presided over a make-believe Judiciary Committee that found President Bush guilty of various "high crimes" for conducting the War on Terror.
Here's what WaPo had to say of McGovern's involvement:
The session took an awkward turn when witness Ray McGovern, a former intelligence analyst, declared that the United States went to war in Iraq for oil, Israel and military bases craved by administration "neocons" so "the United States and Israel could dominate that part of the world." He said that Israel should not be considered an ally and that Bush was doing the bidding of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Our Jew-baiting friend Rep Jim Moran (D-VA) was there to congratulate McGovern on his "candid answer."
Meanwhile, out there in the real world, serious threats are gathering — as the media and the Democratic Party keep the Bush Administration distracted as best they can by nipping at its ankles.
