the agent is a hero! if he were in germany in wwII and did the same thing, maybe the secreted concentration camps would have been stopped by the german people who claimed they didn’t know anything about it since it was a “secret” from them!

If he testifies, they will attack him like they do everyone else who disagrees with them. He needs to attack back, if they resort to that bullshit.

Lets see, now. If the NSA, etc. don’t WANT him to testify, but a sufficient number of Congressmen (both House and Senate) do, then they can simply pass a Law (by a veto-proof majority) GRANTING him the right, or even the obligation, to do so. Also a Law making interference with him and his illegal - some sort of a felony, easy to prove, with a nice stiff prison term as punishment.

The mere thought of this ought to quench the ardor of those trying to either defend or cover-up Bushie’s little project.

I wonder if he will be allowed to testify. If he is allowed to testify it will be fascinating to see what the reaction of the administration will be—they cannot fire him twice so will he be facing charges?
