"[Sen. Wyden] on Edward Snowden, how the NSA misled Congress, and reining in the massive collection"

[Major Hogwash]

47. The Hong Kong Eddie Caper didn't start "a little over 2 months ago." Today is August 1st, yet . . .

. . . the first published report on Snowden occurred on June 5th.
And that's not "a little over 2 months ago".

20 May Edward Snowden, an employee of defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton at the National Security Agency, arrives in Hong Kong from Hawaii. He carries four laptop computers that enable him to gain access to some of the US government's most highly-classified secrets.

1 June Guardian journalists Glenn Greenwald and Ewen MacAskill and documentary maker Laura Poitras fly from New York to Hong Kong. They meet Snowden in a Kowloon hotel after he identifies himself with a Rubik's cube and begin a week of interviews with their source.

5 June The Guardian publishes its first exclusive based on Snowden's leak, revealing a secret court order showing that the US government had forced the telecoms giant Verizon to hand over the phone records of millions of Americans.

6 June A second story reveals the existence of the previously undisclosed programme Prism, which internal NSA documents claim gives the agency "direct access" to data held by Google, Facebook, Apple and other US internet giants. The tech companies deny that they have set up "back door access" to their systems for the US government.

This, according to the 'official" timeline provided by the Guardian itself --

I wonder why Wyden is grandstanding now, since he was on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and knew this was all going on to begin with.
