From ABC News:

NSA whistleblower Russ Tice says he will tell Congress Wednesday of “probable unlawful and unconstitutional acts” involving the agency’s former director, Gen. Michael Hayden, President Bush’s nominee to run the CIA.

Tice, a former technical intelligence specialist at NSA who first went public on ABC News, says he has been asked to testify Wednesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

In a letter to the committee, Tice says the alleged illegal acts involved “very highly sensitive intelligence programs and operations known as Special Access Programs (SAPs).”
