ANDREA MITCHELL:
Now, there's been a lot of criticism of his policy regarding drones and the NSA surveillance. And the N.S.A. has argued that this kind of intelligence gathering is critical to try to protect the American homeland?

Old-- yeah. Yeah. Because I believe if I send an email, it will be monitored.
