The administration which refuses to call the Fort Hood murderer a terrorist now treats us all like terrorists with their FISA Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court according to Glen Greenwald and Spencer Ackerman writing in The Guardian<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone records of millions of US customers of Verizon, one of America’s largest telecoms providers, under a top secret court order issued in April.<\/p>\n

The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian, requires Verizon on an “ongoing, daily basis” to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US and between the US and other countries.<\/p>\n

The document shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records of millions of US citizens are being collected indiscriminately and in bulk \u2013 regardless of whether they are suspected of any wrongdoing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Their data mining may include other phone carriers, but reporters only uncovered one letter from Verizon. Me? I don’t do anything wrong, so I really don’t care, but it is a huge invasion of our privacy.<\/p>\n

The NBC broadcast news tried to blunt the impact of this news by saying “Bush did it, too”, but that’s not exactly true. The Bush administration used it against suspected terrorists and only those calls that were international, but I guess the Obama Administration thinks we’re all terrorists since public opinion has turned against him, we’re all terrorists who bear monitoring. The calls being mined are even wholly made in the United States. <\/p>\n

Yeah, if Bush had tried this, they’d be marching in the streets. Funny how this administration can do what Bush was accused of doing with little repercussions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
