Wyden Says the NSA is still lying

The NSA is so thoroughly discredited that only one thing is for sure - whatever they say publicly is at best a half truth, but more likely an outright lie.  Wyden and 25 other Senators sent a letter to Clapper asking specific questions about the workings of NSA, and he posted Clapper's public reply.  Wyden then commented on the reply.
Wyden (D-Ore.), as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is privy to classified briefings on the government’s surveillance. On Tuesday, he told Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC that all he could say is that the violations are worse than being made public. 
“We had a big development last Friday when Gen. [James] Clapper, the head of the intelligence agencies, admitted that the community had violated these court orders on phone record collection, and I’ll tell your viewers that those violations are significantly more troubling than the government has stated,” Wyden said.
OK, who are we going to believe, Wyden or Clapper?  I hope to soon blog the resignation of Clapper.
