Renee Montagne from NPR spoke with liberal columnist and author Glenn Greenwald, the reporter who co-wrote the stories for the British newspaper The Guardian, today on the massive data-mining scandal.

It’s no wonder the Boston bombers got through.
Shouldn’t have blamed the cia for the bengazi affair I suppose...
Oops. Caught again
How many I don’t remember .... Or recall will this one emit?
Iirc the blanket surveillance was activated by the FBI....
I can hear Valerie Jarrett now, saying this to Congress: “Don’t you dare call me to testify, or I’ll expose ALL of your dirty little secrets.” Perhaps THIS is why all the people who get called to testify are the people who don’t matter.

There is too much, and this is too sophisticated, for the source not to be someone in intel.
Either the Mossad or our own folks P.O.-ed at being thrown under the bus on Benghazi.
