I CALL BULLSHIT ON CLAPPER

The CNET report on illegal tapping has been retracted but I can't believe the DNI's claim:

Update at 10:20 p.m. ET on June 16: The U.S. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper released a statement, debunking the claims. "The statement that a single analyst can eavesdrop on domestic communications without proper legal authorization is incorrect and was not briefed to Congress," the statement read.

For decades I've believed its also important to know the "little people" in an organization because most of the time, they are doing all the real work and know more about what's going on than management and I don't see a reason to exempt the NSA from this generalization.
