    To your theory Glenn

    I remembered something I heard on a Larry King show back in January 06.

    King was interviewing Russell Tice. This exchange literally made me sit up in my chair:

    KING: Russell Tice, a former National Security Agency officer, who wants to testify before Congress about all of this, about a super secret black world or special access programs, when you started doing what you had to do or were apparently were ordered to do or asked to do, did it make you uncomfortable, Russell?

    TICE: Well, most of these programs are very beneficial to the security of our country. It is just the potentiality of abuses, and I think abuses have happened that I think need to be addressed. And apparently we have very little oversight. So that's sort of what I want to bring to issue to Congress.

    Here is someone who was directly involved in the program who says abuses have happened that need to be addressed. What is he talking about? It would seem to point in the direction of some of Glenn's speculations. Watergate without the break in seems more and more plausible. Can someone talk to this guy?
