ABOUT THE NSA PHONE TAPPING AND SURVEILLANCE PROGRAMS, MIKE SAYS: “I’M SURE [PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA] KNOWS AT SOME LEVEL THE DEPTH OF THIS PROGRAM, BUT PROBABLY NOT THE ENTIRE DEPTH OF THE PROGRAM. BUT ONE THING THAT’S MISSING IN THIS CONVERSATION—THAT WE’RE HAVING, THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING, THAT’S IN THE NEWSPAPERS—IS [THAT] THE LEVEL OF ANXIETY, FEAR, APPREHENSION, ALERTNESS THAT EXISTED ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2001 STILL EXISTS TODAY; AND THE WORLD IS INDEED A DANGEROUS PLACE…. WE HAVE ALL SPOKEN TO PEOPLE IN THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY WHO WILL TELL YOU THAT THE THREAT LEVEL THAT THE PRESIDENT RECEIVES IN HIS OVERNIGHT PRESIDENTIAL DAILY BRIEFINGS—AND THAT OTHER OFFICIALS RECEIVE—IS HORRIFIC.” ON MORNING JOE ON MSNBC.
