This press release from the National Security Whistleblower's Coalitions speaks for itself:
"Based on information obtained by National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, Mr. Russell Tice's appearance before the federal grand jury originally scheduled for Wednesday, August 2, has been cancelled.
...Professor William Weaver, NSWBC Senior Advisor, stated: "The subpoena for Mr. Tice did not indicate whether or not he was the target of a criminal investigation or just a witness, and gave him only six days to prepare for the original grand jury hearing date. The intervention of first class legal counsel put the government off track, for it appears that government attorneys wanted to get to Tice before he had a chance to obtain legal advice."
In other words, it looks like Alberto Gonzalez and gang are trying to railroad Mr. Tice- and are finding that Mr. Tice is not going to allow himself to be bullied.
