“What did the Associated Press expect with the latest ‘hey, we’ll investigate ourselves’ project? The AP is shocked, shocked to find that the supposedly independent review of the NSA’s practices has started to look a lot like an operation run by its parent organization; that would be the same James Clapper who misled Congress on the nature of the NSA’s activities, and then later claimed to have been as transparent as possible. Ron Wyden had actually given Clapper a full day’s notice on the question, but rather than ask for a classified briefing, offered a false denial instead. Now he’s basically running the investigation into himself, but we knew that already. The AP is just catching up.”
