NSA whistle-blower: Obama “worse than Bush”

[eyer]

[Salon]:In the New Yorker article, Jane Mayer quotes you as saying, “I actually had hopes for Obama.” What’s your opinion on the Obama administration’s stated support for whistle-blowers and, more generally, his counterterrorism record?

[Thomas Drake]:Worse than Bush. I have to say that. I actually voted for Obama. It’s all rhetoric for me now. As Americans we were hoodwinked. He’s expanding the secrecy regime far beyond what the Bush even intended, interestingly enough. I think Bush is probably like, “Whoa.”

It isn't about Party politics...

...it's about individual liberty and the Constitution.

Interesting context from a man once high inside the National Security Agency...
