Tom Matzzie, founder of the Ethical Electric Company and former director of MoveOn.org, found himself sitting near ex-NSA director Michael Hayden on the Acela Express outside Philadelphia. Hayden was on the phone with a reporter, apparently "bashing" the Obama administration in connection with the recent revelations that the NSA had monitored the phone calls of at least 35 world leaders.
