News from the NSA front

Glenn Greenwald has a good post on developments in the NSA spying scandal. Here's the thumbnail version, but read the whole thing:

Given that: (a) not even the Senate has any idea what the scope is of warrantless eavesdropping on Americans; (b) it is clear that the lawless eavesdropping extends beyond what we know; and (c) a majority of Americans believe that the actions that we do know about are illegal, it is inexcusable – to put it mildly – for the Senate Intelligence Committee not to hold hearings on what our Government is doing in its warrantless, lawless eavesdropping on Americans.
