6/11 Who Profits From The Surveillance State? James Clapper Lied To Congress & Plan B

June 11, 2013

Sam went solo today and explained why Edward Snowden isn’t the main story, the market for private spying and data collection, why the Patriot Act’s implementation is a fundamental challenge to democratic culture, how the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied the Senate and how corporations profit from the military industrial complex.

On The Better Half: the Obama Administration finally backs down on Plan B and Laura Ingraham has something insane to say about it, Michael Isikoff thinks the government may have a hard time prosecuting Edward Snowden and your calls and IMs.

And keep the conversation going on our morning thread
