The Thomas Tamm Legal Defense Fund
Tuesday, December 16th, 2008One of the key whistleblowers on the Bush administration’s illegal spying on U.S. citizens has just gone public with his identity in a long Newsweek article: Thomas Tamm, a 56-year-old former Justice Department prosecutor who called the New York Times after a long period of misgivings about the program.
If you can stand Michael Isikoff’s fatuous centrism (“Gee, is he a hero or a criminal?”), the whole article is worth reading; otherwise try Threat Level’s summary.
And according to firedoglake, to give to his legal fund, send a check here:
