New York Times columnist David Brooks was on the Meet the Press panel to say that there's probably a need to rein in some of the NSA's activities. But he made clear that this should not "legitimize" whistleblower Edward Snowden, who Brooks derides as a "narcissist" a familiar media smear against Snowden.
But then, later on in the show came this from host Gregory:
"I should mention
my wife who is in law enforcement who you know well, said the fact that it is so broad, that this bulk collection is so broad, is what makes it safer. Because the government is not concerned about who is looking at what website. They are really just collecting data to be able to protect the country."

The very fact it is so broad, is in itself, a violation of the Constitution on several levels.
