Weird Or Wired?

As has been mentioned around the blogosphere, Andrea Mitchell asked author James Risen if he had found any evidence that the NSA had wire tapped CNN corespondent Christiane Amanpour. An odd question, indeed. But even odder was when MSNBC.com pulled that portion of the transcript. I don't know if you have tried to obtain transcripts online before, but they change a lot, and sometimes you never get a final so I shrugged it off at first.

Today, however, NBC released this quixotic statement to TVNEWSER:

"Unfortunately this transcript was released prematurely. It was a topic on which we had not completed our reporting, and it was not broadcast on 'NBC Nightly News' nor on any other NBC News program. We removed that section of the transcript so that we may further continue our inquiry."

Interesting, is NBC actually investigating whether or not the NSA bugged Amanpour? This statement makes me think they have some sort of lead they're working.
