NSA statement does not deny 'spying' on members of Congress
I hope that 'the Merkel effect' will be significant here, in that it was not an issue until those with power were directly and obviously affected.All too often it feels like 'the people' is a separate set to that of those in positions of executive power, with a bit of luck the smart wording of Bernie Sanders will ingratiate previously unbothered elements of the powers who can actually do something about stuff.That said, I don't think 'spy on everyone, except the powerful' is a step up, if anything it's worse.
