WASHINGTON FBI agents searched the home of former Justice Department lawyer Thomas Tamm last week in an effort to determine who leaked details of the warrantless eavesdropping program to the news media, Newsweek magazine reported Sunday, citing two anonymous legal sources.
The agents, who had obtained a classified search warrant, took Tamm's desktop computer, two laptops belonging to his children and some of Tamm's personal files, said Newsweek, which granted anonymity to the two sources because they did not want to be identified talking about an open case.
Tamm left the department last year. He had worked in the department's Office of Intelligence Policy and Review, a secretive unit that oversees surveillance of terrorist and espionage targets, according to Newsweek.

Is he VIPS?
Not to my knowledge. Last week DoJ announced it had determined that journalists could be prosecuted for publishing classified information. For some quick background on this investigation, see http://www.americanthinker.com/2006/01/laughable_claims_about_the_nsa.html
Doesn’t look good for the NYT, I think. At a minimum they’ll be forced to testify again.
Ooops—wrong cite on the DoJ policy announcement. That one is http://www.fas.org/blog/secrecy/2007/08/reporters_could_be_prosecuted.html
A good start. While they’re at it, go after the other traitors in our midst, like RAT politicians and the MSM. The left complains about turning into an authoritarian police state, might as well give them what they’re whining about.
What the heck took so long??!!! It’s been almost 2 years since the leak. Why weren’t they searching home computers of EVERYONE who had access to the info? Not to mention lie detectors and any other means to test everyone’s culpability. And doing it immediately after the leak! No telling whether he has a new computer by now.
No No No. The Guillotine. Perfect for these people.
Clintonite?
