NSA Talking Points Issued By House Intelligence Committee Instruct Lawmakers on Defending Programs

• Daily Paul.com
 

From HuffPo:

The Huffington Post has obtained talking points instructing members of Congress on how to defend two controversial surveillance programs operated by the National Security Agency. The talking points originate from the Democratic side of House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) serves as ranking member.
 

But for a very nice one-by-one takedown of the talking points, see this very worthwhile TechDirt article, from which the following excerpt is taken:

The government has been passing around some "talking points" to politicians and the press trying to spin the NSA surveillance story. We've got the talking points about scooping up business records (i.e., all data on all phone calls) and on the internet program known as PRISM. Both are embedded ">below.
