libby casey, al jazeera washington. >> the f.b.i. has dramatically increased its use of the patriot act to collect information. an internal review by the department of justice says the agency has been using its authority to sweep up data on people who are not part of any active investigation. the expansion is due in part to more electronic information being available. the report also faults the f.b.i. for taking seven years to create privacy protections. we are learning more about emails sent from a personal account by former secretary of state hillary clinton. >> "the new york times" obtained hundreds of pages related to the 2012 benghazi attack and situation in libya. they include a warning from christopher stevens the u.s. ambassador killed in the attack. clinton said she wants to make all of these emails public. >> it reveals more about how the clinton foundation is funded, including $26 million in previously undisclosed payments for speeches. the money came from corporations universities and foreign sources. the foundation has b

i saw in washington d.c. the national portrait gallery at the time his handwritten notes on the nose sorensen had given to him. you probably know the quote that he had lived -- i lived at the white house banquet. with the possible exception of when thomas jefferson dined alone. there was a 10 page spread in life magazine about the noble laureate white house dinner just as there is a 10 page spread in life magazine in mid-april 1943, when they designated the jefferson memorial. so jefferson's words express the universal desire for individual freedom. that is why he stays with us. when we say jeffersonian democracy, we tend to mean something on the order of human rights. barack obama when he first took office in 2009 was asked at an earlier press conference how he envisioned the future of iraq and the words out of his mouth where we don't expect a jeffersonian democracy because it's a different culture. but we expect something that we might call a jeffersonian democracy in this country. that is what i'm trying

the train was traveling north from washington, d.c. the ntsb has been activated and is investigating. now here's what we're still trying to figure out. there is a lot of questions right now. officials are not speculating on what could have caused the derailment. when it all happened at 9:20 p.m. eastern time it was very dark outside. no natural light and very few lights on the track. now rescuers were initially just using flashlights. can you imagine this kind of derailment? they're using flashlights to try to find people and rescue them before asking helicopters overhead to shine their lights just to brighten things up enough to search the area effectively. i understand on the phone we may be able to get a little more from someone on the scene. we have msnbc's adam reiss on the phone with us. adam, can you tell me what you're seeing right now? all right. i understand we don't have adam as of this moment. we are still trying to get him. as you can imagine, this is a very fluid situation. looking at the video shot earlier, you can see t
