More details are surfacing regarding the NSA’s alleged snooping on foreign leaders. However, the White House says that Barack Obama didn’t know about the eavesdropping until this summer, and once the program was disclosed, the president of the most transparent administration in history ordered the NSA to drop the practice. Or so officials say. The Wall Street Journal reports, “The account suggests President Barack Obama went nearly five years without knowing his own spies were bugging the phones of world leaders. Officials said the NSA has so many eavesdropping operations under way that it wouldn’t have been practical to brief him on all of them.” Just like the IRS ostensibly didn’t see fit to let Obama know that conservative organizations were being targeted. Some transparency!
