Talking Points Memo
by David Kurtz
Now We Know

The key quote this morning from Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), the ranking member on the Senate Intelligence Committee, on The Guardian's big story:
This is nothing particularly new. This has been going on for seven years under the auspices of the FISA authority, and every member of the United States Senate has been advised of this.
That essentially confirms that the order obtained by The Guardian was not a one-off, isolated order. Rather, it was one of many such orders, approved by a series of FISA court judges, directed to multiple telecom carriers over many years. Seven years, as Chambliss says.
