Does Brit Hume Think NSA Spying Only Happens to Bad Guys?

The Family Jewels are online now, and page 27 confirms something that should have been obvious. Under the Celotex II program, Brit Hume came under CIA surveillance during the time he worked for Jack Anderson, who was often under surveillance.

So who will be the first enterprising Fox guest to ask Hume whether he believes, along with all the wingnuts of the world, that only bad people come under illegal government surveillance?

Or did the government surveillance find something, um, compromising, which is why Hume is such a favorite interviewer every time the Republican elite has something awkward to disclose?
