Emptywheel has lots of good commentary on the whole NSA issue. I thought this one was particularly good. Are there still people out there who question if we are being lied to and deceived ?

Clapper got the question for the test before taking it, and he still — he says — misunderstood it.
But of course that’s not what happened. The way Clapper has made false statements in public and then “acknowledged errors” in secret is all part of the game by which Clapper mostly sort of tells the truth to Congress, but continues to lie to the American people.
In other news, it has now been almost a week since, caught in another lie, the NSA took down their “Section 702 Protections” document, without replacing them with an accurate description of what protections, if any, Americans have under Section 702.
