This, as usual, from the New York Post:
"For substance, turn
[from Time] to Newsweek. The cover story on Thomas Tamm, a Justice
Department employee-turned-whistleblower on the Bush administration's
wiretapping program is far more compelling than the entire Time issue.
Newsweek writer Michael Isikoff got Tamm to speak on the record against
the advice of his lawyers, and the story he tells is not an uncommon
one among whistleblowers: extreme courage, bolstered by a keen sense of
moral obligation, creates personal and professional upheaval that
threatens to destroy everything he's worked for. Or, as Isikoff writes,
"Sometimes the thinnest of lines seperates the criminal from the hero."
Thanks, Media City, for 3 stars. And look for feedback on Isikoff's story as the week progresses.
