NSA Speaks Out On Snowden, Spying -- CBS News 60 Minutes
The NSA gives unprecedented access to the agency's HQ and, for the first time, explains what it does and what it says it doesn't do: spy on Americans
The following is a script from "Inside the NSA" which aired on Dec. 15, 2013. John Miller is the correspondent. Ira Rosen and Gabrielle Schonder, producers.

The head of NSA lied before congress and continues in this show. He says NSA not reading stuff but merely collecting for data storage and monitoring only potential terrorists...and yet later in same program we are told that the head of state in Germany had her phone tapped! Is she a terrorist?
That show set up to make NS
A look good and try to get rid of all the bad press now in the news. Had Snowden not leaked, there would be no public talks of any kind. And no serious questions asked of NSA chief during interview.
At the very least, a apiss poor presentation by 60 Minutes, set up to make NSA look good...
