It’s not often I can say I agree with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. On this privacy issue, I do.
“Has the NSA spied, or is the NSA currently spying, on members of Congress or other American elected officials?” Sanders asked in his short letter to Gen. Keith Alexander, the NSA director.
Sanders said “spying” would include gathering metadata on phone calls made from official or personal phones, content from websites visited or emails sent, or collecting any other data from a third party not made available to the general public.
The outspoken Sanders added he was “deeply concerned” by revelations that American intelligence agencies harvested the phone records, emails and web activity of millions of innocent Americans without reason to suspect them of illegal activity.
Yep.
