The Surveillance State Puts U.S. Elections at Risk of Manipulation
As much as you might think this is out there, I have a hunch, however stupid it might be that leaks about candidates could in fact come out this way.<p>it might not even be Obamas team leaking.  Lets sat a partisan person who works for the NSA wants to destroy a candidate.  They could in fact do all the research themselves rather than anyone even close to Obama.<p>I look at one direct example of Herman Cain.  How did the press ever get ahold of the fact that he was paying women out?  Literally, you could say the women spoke up, but with the NSA, you could say someone who works at the NSA leaked the information just because they didn't like Herman Cain to begin with.<p>Now that's scary.  Someone's reputation could be destroyed just by a rogue NSA agent.
