I would like to have been a fly on the wall for that "closed door meeting".
Don't they mean a closed door meeting in which they disclosed classified information on how many plots where thwarted through this survellence?
This scandal is falling apart because it doesn't bear scrutiny if the President is well within his purview in protecting the lives of Americans.
Only, repeat, ONLY, terrorist suspects where survailed, and then it was only by machines scanning for code words. On top of that, it was only international lines.
I feel safer knowing that terror cells trying to kill me and destroy my country can't trust their communications to be secure.
