Meanwhile, at the White House Monday afternoon, NBC News correspondent Chuck Todd asked Obama press secretary Jay Carney to comment on the latest disclosures, but to no avail.
"The NSA's activities are directed against foreign intelligence targets in order to protect the nation and its interests," said Carney, adding, "We do what other nations do, and that is collect foreign intelligence."
When Todd responded, "This is about Americans; this is about Americans, that are not foreign," Carney replied by refusing to acknowledge any specific intelligence tool and instead said that the agency's foreign intelligence activities "are directed pursuant to procedures approved by the United States attorney general and secretary of defense."
"I understand that that's what you have to say. And that's a statement you have to say. But are you at all concerned?" asked Todd.
