It's down a bit on the page.
It looks like Tamm is a Democrat or at least a big critic of the White House. With his complaints about the firing of the U.S. Attorney's, it's not hard to see him leaking to the press about the wireless phone taps.

Dear Eric: Is not the administration's position that they would not permit the U.S. Attorney to prosecute a Congressional Contempt referral an implicit admission that they allow politics to impact prosecutions? They are admitting that they would interfere with the independent judgment of a prosecutor on a specific case. I suggest that this is precisely what the firings of the U.S. Attorneys are ultimately about. Yes, they serve at the pleasure of the president, but they do not prosecute at the pleasure of the president. The White House is guilty of taking the blindfold off lady justice, not just covering her breasts. I am a former DOJ lawyer, for what that is worth.
There’s a blog comment from a Thomas Tamm from Nov 2006, critical of the Bush Admin not calling Iraq a Civil War in sarcastic terms. Same guy? If so he’s a lib with the so called “Shadow Gov’t”.
