Jan 10, 2006 — Russell Tice, a longtime insider at the National Security Agency, is now a whistleblower the agency would like to keep quiet.

For 20 years, Tice worked in the shadows as he helped the United States spy on other people's conversations around the world.

"I specialized in what's called special access programs," Tice said of his job. "We called them 'black world' programs and operations."

But now, Tice tells ABC News that some of those secret "black world" operations run by the NSA were operated in ways that he believes violated the law. He is prepared to tell Congress all he knows about the alleged wrongdoing in these programs run by the Defense Department and the NSA in the post-9/11 efforts to go after terrorists.

"The mentality was we need to get these guys, and we're going to do whatever it takes to get them," he said.

Oh and die from his injuries of course.

testimony should be recroded now in advance of Congress. This is a little bigger than thinking that it has been going on and making jokes about it. This is about leaders who a few voted for abandoning all laws that we still believe in and expect to be withheld.

To those people who say - He's our PResident, get over it - it is your responsibility to put our head on straight and demand rule of law.
