| "Brain-whatting?" "Never mind, go to sleep." |
(DN) National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower William Binney drops a bombshell: Domestic surveillance has become more expansive under Pres. Obama than Pres. Bush.
He estimates that the NSA has assembled 20 trillion "transactions" -- phone calls, emails, and many other forms of data such as texts -- produced by ordinary law-abiding Americans.

| "We need more money like the NSA gets." |
This includes copies of almost all of the emails sent and received from most people living in the United States.
Binney talks about Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act and challenges NSA Director Keith Alexander's assertion that the NSA is not intercepting information about U.S. citizens.
