		<description><![CDATA[It was one of the strangest personal crusades on Capitol Hill: For years, Sen. Ron Wyden said he was worried that intelligence agencies were violating Americans&#8217; privacy. But he couldn&#8217;t say how. That was a secret. Wyden&#8217;s outrage, he said, stemmed from top-secret information he had learned as a member of the Senate intelligence committee. [...]]]></description>
