LIKE I SAID, PROSECUTE THE MAN . . .

I watched Keith Olbermann tonight and caught his interview with Russell Tice, a former NSA analyst. In a few words, this is what Tice said about the Bush administration's domestic spying program:

1. THE DRAGNET RAN DEEP: Domestic spying went beyond suspected terrorists, and those suspected of chatting with terrorists. It ran deep.

2. 1st AMENDMENT COMPROMISED: Tice saw certain non-terror groups get discarded from the dragnet, only to learn that they had actually been segregated and recategorized by Bush supporters and cronies at NSA. Specifically, journalists or journalist organizations were tapped.
If what Tice says is true - and we have no reason to doubt him at this point - Bush needs to be prosecuted.

Here's the clip.
