TruthDig Pushed Norman Leboon In Anti-Bush Intelligence Suit

Norman Leboon is the disturbed Muslim Obama donor arrested today for threatening Rep. Cantor and his family. I guess this is what serves as TruthDig for the Left. And he made it up into media reports, as well.

Upon reading an article in USA Today alleging government spying on American communications, Philadelphia resident Norman LeBoon wondered if communications on his Verizon land line were being shared with the government. After a string of e-mails, LeBoon says he finally reached “Ellen” in customer service, who had this to say: “I can tell you, Mr. LeBoon, that your records have been shared with the government, but that’s between you and me. ... They [Verizon] are going to deny it because of national security. The government is denying it and we have to deny it, too. Around here we are saying that Verizon has ‘plausible deniability.’ ”

LeBoon is part of a class-action suit against the major telecommunications companies brought by lawyers Bruce Afran and Carl Mayer. Their case is remarkable not only in that it references such blatant admissions by Verizon employees, but also because the two lawyers claim to have evidence that AT&T was approached by the National Security Agency before 9/11 as part of the aforementioned Project Groundbreaker, which gave the government access to an unprecedented amount of the personal data of American citizens.

Shame that the guy's so sick - all your YouTubes belong to us. Michelle has docs from the threat to Cantor. Legal Insurrection has more, as well. I think he's going to miss judgment day, due to more pressing commitments.

Reminds me of the guy I saw while on jury duty who was committed during a quick hearing (while the judge recessed a civil trial for 15 minutes).
He claimed that he had information on the Kennedy assassination.
Two mild mannered psychiatrists did the deed and it was off to a state hospital for him.
