Re: hmmm....
1-Tamm grew frustrated when the story did not immediately appear. He was hoping, he says, that Lichtblau and his partner Risen (with whom he also met) would figure out on their own what the program was really all about and break it before the 2004 election. He was, by this time, "pissed off" at the Bush administration, he says. He contributed $300 to the Democratic National Committee in September 2004, according to campaign finance records.
2- Paul Kemp, one of Tamm's lawyers, says he was recently told by the Justice Department prosecutor in charge of Tamm's case that there will be no decision about whether to prosecute until next year—after the Obama administration takes office. The case could present a dilemma for the new leadership at Justice. During the presidential campaign, Obama condemned the warrantless-wiretapping program. So did Eric Holder, Obama's choice to become attorney general. In a tough speech last June, Holder said that Bush had acted "in direct defiance of federal law" by authorizing the NSA program.
Let see what President Obama decides to do with this case. |

Mount Airy, MD | Interesting points. So this looks more like the "he's a hero because he supports the Democrats" template.

Belvidere, NJ | No. It's the "He's a hero who supports the constitution, the rule of law and the oath he took at the DoJ" template. Different thing altogether.
That might filter past your partisanship someday. |
