Politico covers NWA domestic surveillance panel

Politico, the online political news magazine, reported on the National Whistleblower Assembly’s panel, “Domestic Surveillance:  Next Steps,”  featuring speakers Thomas Tamm, Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, Michael MacLeod-Ball of the ACLU, and moderated by Jesselyn Radack, of GAP.

Author Josh Gerstein writes:

A former Justice Department lawyer who said that he was a key source behind the revelation of President Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program got a hero’s welcome on Capitol Hill on Tuesday at a gathering of whistleblowers demanding greater protection from Congress.

Tamm’s appearance at a panel discussion hosted by the Government Accountability Project was his first appearance at a public forum since December, when Newsweek identified him as being under criminal investigation for discussing the surveillance program with the New York Times.
