On Wednesday, June 19, Boiling Frogs Post broke the news on the NSAs targeting of political candidates, elected officials, federal judges, law firms and activists, including candidate Barack Obama, revealed by veteran NSA officer and whistleblower Russ Tice.
(snip)
Today MSNBC aired an interview with Mr. Tice disclosing some of his revelations, thanks to the vigilant activists who tirelessly shared and disseminated Mr. Tices revelations and interview audio. Interestingly, at the last minute, MSNBC told Mr. Tice that they would NOT include his revelations on NSAs targeting of Obama, elected officials, attorneys, judges and activists. Basically, they censored his entire testimony on these stunning allegations!
In a correspondence with Boiling Frogs Post immediately following his censored interview with MSNBC Mr. Tice stated:
When they were placing the ear-phone in my ear with less than ten minutes left till my air time, the producer in New York said that their lawyers were discussing the material, and at this time, they did not want me to mention anything about the NSA wiretaps against all the people and organizations that I mentioned. That is how it went down. I did say on the air that I know it is much worse and would like to talk about that some time.

The MEdia does not want the sheeple to know that the 'Kenyan' was spied upon? I was speculating earlier in the week that the BFEE probably was using the NSA to spy upon Democrats before 9/11. How complicit was the MEdia? I will be following this story with interest.

What fingers do the Cheney's and ilk have inside the powers like Booz and such.
That to me is a much scarier scenario.
