… and it has no business being used to form some kind of prosecution any United States Citizen who points out how laws are being broken. This just shows what lengths the White House (exacerbated by Cheney) will use to protect how the operations of the CIA and NSA have become.

This distain for Americans who discover how information is being abused becomes the focus. As soon as someone points out what is wrong, this administration, fresh off the last one, focuses that story about the law breaking whistleblower, when the story should be about abuse of power.

Truth to power.
