Glenn Greenwald will testify before Congress

via video-link with American Civil Liberties Union and the Cato Institute.

This testimony or hearing or whatever is organized by the same coalition that tried to pass an amendment to reign in the scope of NSA surveillance, and failed.

There have already been hearings about this. Mediate notes one the hearings Congress organized on the NSA programs last June was titled "How Disclosed NSA Programs Protect Americans, and Why Disclosure Aids Our Adversaries."

Another Congressional hearing was titled "How NSA Surveillance Lead to Healthier Gums and Brighter Teeth and Disclosure Advances Fowl Breath."

So they thought maybe we had just get our licks in.

It will be interesting to see what Glenn Grenwald says.
