“Quickly, I just want an answer yes or no,” Brzezinski began. “Isn’t it the case that reviewing of emails or any wiretapping cannot take place without an additional warrant from a judge and a review? It’s not like there’s haphazard probing into all of our personal emails. Can we put this into context so we understand exactly what’s going on?” Greenwald didn’t even hesitate, blowing past Mika’s request for a one-word response. “Yeah, I’ll put it into context for you: the White House talking points that you’re using are completely misleading and false. The whole point of what the Bush administration did when it disregarded and violated the FISA law, and then when Congress on a bipartisan basis enacted a new surveillance law in 2008 was to enable the NSA to read emails between people in the United States and people outside of the United States without having to first go to a FISA court and get a warrant. The only time individual warrants are needed is when two people are both within the United States and are both American citizens.” rawstory/rs/2013/06/10/greenwald-smacks-down-msnbc-hosts-white-house-talking-points/
