NSA whistleblower speaks up

Now that the Bush administration is history, Russell Tice has decided to step forward with more information about the illegal warrantless surveillance that Americans have been subjected to by their government during the last 8 years. Keith Olberman interviewed him on Countdown last night and has asked him to come back again tonight. Wikipedia has a good summary of Mr. Tice's past revelations in the section titled "Whistleblower".

Dkos diarist RiderOnTheStorm who has written explanatory diaries on the general topic of surveillance before has taken the time to explain what is inferred by Mr. Tice's statements last night. He identifies what can be determined from examining metadata. Update #5 on "positioning of assets" is particularly illuminating.
