To those paying close attention to Meet the Press, on one of the morning show interviews with Saxby Chambliss and Dick Durbin this morning, heard Sen Chambliss say that Senator Wyden knew the answer to the question before he asked it of General Clapper. Clapper later responded that it was the least untruthful answer he could give under the circumstances.

But the jaw-dropping part was the suggestion that Senator Wyden asked a question that was not in the script. He suggested that no questions were to be asked that were not approved beforehand by the NSA. Wyden went off script.

In other words, it was all for show. It was not meant to inform the public. It was fake and Senator Wyden did not read his lines as he was supposed to read them. The Senate and the NSA both had the intent to deceive the public.
