Thomas Tamm: A Whistleblower's Story



Thomas Tamm had spent a lifetime in law enforcement. A lawyer, his family had a long tradition of government service. After he learned of the Bush/NSA warrantless wiretapping criminal scheme, he knew it was a gross violation of the rule of law. He also was aware the penalty for whistle blowing was often a long prison sentence and sometimes death.

As Tamm is the subject of good reporting in the New York Times, Newsweek and the Huffington Post, I will comment on only one aspect. Several government Agencies did criminal work for Administration. They ignored the lawbreakers who were violating the human rights of the citizens. This neglect contributed greatly to the current Depression.

The new Administration should enter vigorous investigation and prosecution of the culprits.
