The following rush transcript probably contains errors and/or omissions…NSA: Oops! We Misstated Again.
Well, here we are with another DayPage, I’m Rex Latchford. If you go to DayPage.net and scroll down to June 10th, you’ll find me declaring that the Snowden story “will have legs”. Take a few minutes and give it a listen – although it’s 20 minutes long, it has lots of audio clips. I also talk about how creepy it is that the Snowden story about NSA spying finally came out – with information some of us had known for 10 years. Whatever it took, the story is out and it has legs! Fer sher…
And so we come to Today’s Washington Post. Apparently Snowden gave info to the Post as well as The Guardian, which broke the story, and other publications. {Rex goes on to read the article “into the record”]

Note: Daypage is typically recorded before 8am New York Time, shortly before the live broadcast of Democracy Now! On that program (Audio airs at 2pm weekdays on Radio InfoWeb) there was additional coverage of the issues surrounding the Washington Post’s (above) new revelations today.
