Thomas Tamm (born 1952) is a former attorney in the United States Department of Justice Office of Intelligence Policy and Review during the period in 2004 when senior Justice officials fought against the widening scope of warrantless NSA surveillance that consisted of eavesdropping on U.S. citizens. He was an anonymous whistleblower to ''The New York Times'', making the initial disclosure regarding the issue. ==Background== A 1974 graduate of Brown University, he is a former attorney in the United States Department of Justice Office of Intelligence Policy and Review. A ''New York Times'' article on December 16, 2005〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=NYT's Risen & Lichtblau's December 16, 2005 "Bush Lets U.S. Spy on Callers Without Courts" ) via commondreams.org〕 exposing the warrantless NSA surveillance for the first time was based on his initial tip-offs. Over a year later in 2007, his house was raided by the FBI agents on suspicion of his involvement in leaking the details, but it wasn't until 2008 — online on December 13〔 and then in the December 22 issue of ''Newsweek'' — that his role was confirmed and he began speaking out publicly. On April 26, 2011, after a lengthy criminal investigation, the Justice Department announced that it would be dropping its investigation of Tamm and would not file charges. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Tamm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
