On what basis can you state these things with such authority? (Apologies if there is something obvious that I'm overlooking.)

Also, do you mean that these are the stated rules, or that these are the practices? I don't mean that in a conspiratorial sense. In any institution, the actual practices vary from the rules, sometimes significantly.

What he's stated matches what was in Snowden's leaks. The big problem with Greenwald's reporting is that the leaked documents disagree with Snowden and Paul, but Greenwald believes Snowden and Paul instead of the leaks.
