MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - July 10, 2009: New York Times investigative reporter James Risen.

RISEN: "To me the headline of the entire report... buried deep in the report it says that the interviews with intelligence community officials by all of the inspectors general, they found that no could point to any counterterrorism successes that could be caused by this program, that the program, no one could identify and attacks or arrests ... which contradicts what President Bush repeatedly said for the last three years of his presidency, that this was saving thousands of lives. To me that is a fundamental issue that will change the debate about the NSA warrentless wiretapping program."
