It’s good to know our U.S. Senators are taking warrantless domestic surveillance seriously…
A recent briefing by senior intelligence officials on surveillance programs failed to attract even half of the Senate, showing the lack of enthusiasm in Congress for learning about classified security programs.
Many senators elected to leave Washington early Thursday afternoon instead of attending a briefing with James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, Keith Alexander, the head of the National Security Agency (NSA), and other officials.
Disgraceful….absolutely disgraceful.
Thanks, Zach.
In case anyone missed it, Edward Snowden did a quick chat with Guardian readers this morning.

And who tops the uninformed list – then wails about it? Our very own Sensenbrenner:
