Meet the man we have to thank for telling the truth! Thomas M. Tamm was entrusted with some of the government's most important secrets. He had a Sensitive Compartmented Information security clearance, a level above Top Secret. Government agents had probed Tamms background, his friends and associates, and determined him trustworthy.

UPDATE:
Here is the link for the donation to his defense fund site:

    • We need more people like this guy on the inside to inform us about the secrecy of our sneaky and deceptive government. Kudos Mr. Tamm!

    • I applaud this man for his bravery. When you are up against the government, or any government for that matter, you are facing something worse than being on a hit list from some syndicate crime organization.
      It seems like governments will break their own rules, sending any protection of innocent people as with the constitutional rules, to the grave and then, say..ooops, yea we did that, now we'll change and correct that. Only to repeat history again! and then oooops....
      who pays? the innocent people

    • I’ve got a slightly different take on Mr. Tamm’s actions. I agree what he did had to be done. However, by not doing it in such a way as to obfuscate who was the whistleblower, he has effectively doomed the careers of anyone he was associated with. In essence, by not doing a “deepthroat,” his friends, his close coworkers, those who have spoken highly of him, previous superiors, etc. will all have their careers greatly harmed.

    • Money, Power, Greed... always leads to Corruption!

      There seems to be a secret government running things behind closed doors and they don't like being revealed.

      Mr. Tamm is a moral man who believes in the truth of Freedom, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness and Justice (Good kind of Justice) for all...

      As we are evolving I believe we will grow-up from being fearful of one another to more openness by intelligent understanding diplomatic dialogue.

      People like Tamm will be the kind of people in charge and we will accomplish task in ways not yet fully comprehended...

      A Better Friendlier America united in the Spirit that founded this Great Nation, in which all came and made their home and life.

      Unlock your Full Potential: Free your mind of fears, Let go of limiting beliefs and Live Learn Love, Understand Grow- Evolve, Create Greatness and share it with the world...

    • I saw his first TV interview on Rachel Maddow's show last night, and he is a real American hero. Charges are coming it's part of hope. Ah the audacity of hope.

    • Cheers to this man. It takes a great deal of bravery to not only stand up for what you think is right in the face of opposition but when that opposition is the U.S. government that's heroic.
