David Ensor via Atrios on NSA/Amanpour Andrea Mitchell question. I'm fairly convinced that we haven't heard the last of this. NBC didn't mean to publish that part of the transcript, but at the same time Mitchell doesn't seem to have been asking Risen about Amanpour randomly. So the question is, what was the basis for Mitchell's even preliminary reporting to inform that question? More from TV Newswer, which suggests the source was not Amanpour or CNN.
