after the intercept posted on the website. so an astonishingly fast arrest of someone charged with leaking. she had been in the air force for six years. her last duty station was at ft. meade. she was a linguist, an intelligence analyst and had a top secret security clearance. since february, she was working for a government contractor in august i augusta, georgia. the intercept called the nsa and said, we have this document, what do you think? is there something we should leave out? and they asked that certain things be redacted. that's why when you look at the document, you see the black bars blocking things out. that set off alarm bells at the nsa. they realized it was folded in half, creased, suggesting, analysts said, that somebody had printed it out, folded it up, and taken it out of tui

longest road trip of the season. tonight in l.a. before returning home. and third baseman anthony rendon has been in the line-up for every win and had the day off in that one loss. coincidence? i think not. today is rendon's 27th birthday. the birthday boy has been huge on this road trip, with a .346 average, two home runs, including one last night and four rbi. rendon enjoying the start of what could be a career year. currently on pace for over 30 home runs and 100 rbi. two marks the third baseman has never reached before in his career. over to football, kirk cousins and the redskins finishing up off-season training activities this week. footage courtesy of redskins nation. this week's work-out, voluntary. next week, mandatory mini camp. cousins and terrelle pryor tooki hooking up
