Watch the full interview with Glenn Greenwald on Democracy Now! at http://owl.li/nDU8j. Reuters has reported that a secretive U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration unit is funneling information from intelligence intercepts, wiretaps, informants and a massive database of telephone records to authorities across the nation to help them launch criminal investigations of Americans. Democracy Now! asks Guardian columnist Glenn Greenwald to respond to this developing story. Greenwald was the first to break the story about the massive National Security Agency surveillance program revealed by whistleblower Edward Snowden. Greenwald is a former constitutional law attorney.
