Given the historical treatment of legitimate whistle blowers, I am inclined to believe Tice before the NSA.

I am inclined to believe Tice before the NSA.

Perhaps NSA treated him shoddily, but his "China spy" colleague from DIA was fully exonerated.

Can't find the report on the web, even though it's unclassified.

Given the historical treatment of legitimate whistle blowers, I am inclined to believe Tice before the NSA.

Given the way "whistle-blowers" are protected, while their accused tend to have no rights nor recourse against false accusations, I am inclined to take Tice's allegations with a rather skeptical eye.

I'd agree with you except for the fact this guy had a high level security clearance of some kind.

That presents "special" problems, and obligations on the part of the potential whistleblower.

He should have considered this before hiring on with NSA.
