Whistleblower Tom Drake On NSA Warrantless Wiretapping Post 9/11

[sultros]

NSA mismanaged... Sound familiar? Operation Fast and Furious, Gunwalker, over and over we see the same crap. They cant even protect us from morons with bombs in their undies and shoes. The people that do their job get screwed. The people that get on their knees get the promotions. Shame. We are going the way of Rome.

You Americans should read a little about communist Russia, Germany under Hitler, Romania under Caucescu. This man is a hero, I was a government 'worker' once, it's so extremely nice, almost no work, a lot of money, it's like a movie, the only problem is like Thatcher said 'the problem with socialism is that at one time you run out of other people's money'.

THIS IS ALL B.S COVER UP to make them look incompetent , THE Reality is that FBI had MORE then ONE REPORT TO CIA , who IGNORED the warnings, including the JET FIGHTER that FOLLOWED the PLANE on TV , he was told to STAND down.

ALL this GUYS are JUST spinning LIES, THE HISTORY IS THE LIES THAT EVERY BODY AGREES ON

and you can take this to the bank

@2013skywalker thank you

I hope this video isn't trying to say that we need wiretapping?

This "Thinthread" thing, they're saying they shut it down 9 months before 9/11.. wonder why?

So, the solution, is having a new version of "thinthread" to listen to all our calls and financial information? I DONT THINK SO.

They'll just shut that one down too, right before the next false-flag.

Time for a completely new government. This one sucks so bad it isn't funny.

I believe the founding fathers said something about how if the government isn't following the rule of law they can be replaced. Something like that.

This man is a true hero. Standing up for the Constitution of The United States!

the N.S.A. did not want thin thread in the game,they would have been caught or castrating 911

Reaching out to a reporter wasn't wrong, it was illegal. There's a BIG difference. There are a lot of wrong things that are perfectly legal.

[sultros]

@colourmegone There are paths for whistleblowers to follow. He followed that path. He was ignored. Going to the media was the final step. Did you skip that part?? Go to 7:10 in the video.

[colourmegone]

@sultros I think you have misunderstood my remark. I wasn't criticizing Mr Drake for what he did, I was criticizing the law under which he is being prosecuted. I quite agree that he did everything in his power to bring this out through proper channels but was thwarted by the system.

[sultros]

@colourmegone I think i did. Color me internet disabled and I apologise. That's right, an apology! Something you may never seen again on the net =P

[colourmegone]

@sultros Apology gratuitously accepted (I trust that there WILL be a small remuneration? ;-)

[mydogcujo]

Now that's a REAL American Hero not guys like Obama, McCain, Kerry, Cheney, etc...

The White House said it was legal? Imprison all of them involved with the mismanagement of a billion plus dollars only to have the program scrapped. Gave the crooks enough time to plan and carry out the 9/11 terrorist attacks without having to worry of someone at the NSA finding out. They kept the NSA drowning with data the whole time. Evil treasonous bastards!!!

So to add insult to injury... After 4 years of Hell... he gets a misdemeanor? WTF? They guy deserves a freaking medal for having courage and honor.

Warrantless wiretapping is a direct violation to USSID 18

Signals Intelligence Directive 18 (USSID 18) strictly prohibits the interception or collection of information about "...U.S. persons, entities, corporations or organizations..." without explicit written legal permission from the United States Attorney General when the subject is located abroad, or the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court when within U.S. Borders.

Wow, NSA ignored Israeli Mossad, CIA,, Vatican, Cheney, & friends communications too??? No wonder the masterminds got away with it. No matter who people believe did it, the terrorist won! ala Patriot Act, DHS, TSA, DOJ, White House Usurpers, the evisceration of our Constitution & Bill Of Rights, on & on & on &on &on... They won
