Rachel Maddow just interviewed Thomas Tamm, the FISA whistleblower. He spoke

[bertman]

more eloquently than anyone I have heard in a long time about how important our laws and rule of law are. And about why he was willing to risk everything to bring that lawlessness to light.

He is a truly courageous and patriotic American.

Somebody please post the video on DU.

1. That was awesome.

I seldom use that word because it's overused, but it was the only way I could describe it.

2. America... I give you an American Hero!

Speak the truth, though your voice shakes. His voice was shaking, but he told the truth. It got under his skin, knowing that our Constitution was being violated by the NSA.

This is the kind of person who can help us save the United States. Whistleblowers must be encouraged and protected. They must be listened to. Their warnings have to be heeded.
