A former NSA employee was recently issued a subpoena to appear before a grand jury to discuss what he knew about leaking details of the NSA's warrantless search program to the NY Times.
What's not clear is why he's being issued a subpoena since the White House had spoken with the NY Times about this program of warrantless searches over 2 years prior to their being disclosed by the NY Times. Wouldn't then the NY Times be guilty of conspiracy or obstruction if they DIDN'T reveal an ongoing federal felony crime. Maybe that's why the White House discussed that program with the NY Times, make them complicit in its perpetuation by the act of their silence.
What's also not clear is why Bush isn't being subpoena'd as his Attorney General revealed last week it was Bush who obstructed the investigation into the warrantless surveillance program.
So, you trumpet to the world that you block an investigation into a felony crime and you subpoena those who report the same felony crime. War is peace; guilt is innocence. George Orwell we have finally caught up with you.
