WASHINGTON — The National Security Agency intercepted private e-mail messages and phone calls of Americans in recent months on a scale that went beyond the broad legal limits established by Congress last year, government officials said in recent interviews.

Will there be outrage by the Dems? Will they scream about their civil liberties being infringed upon?
Don’t hold your breath. When 0 is in charge... it’s okay.
Barack did say he was going to end the threat of privacy...
Late night reading in the ‘family quarters’ at 1600 Penn Ave, Wash, DC.
ACLU where are you?
Oh wait, its Obama, so you will just go back to protecting child molesters, Muslims, terrorist, atheist and anti-christians.
“The agency believed that the congressman, whose identity could not be determined, was in contact — as part of a Congressional delegation to the Middle East in 2005 or 2006 — with an extremist who had possible terrorist ties and was already under surveillance”
oic
I would bet that every email, Internet message and phone call of Americans is monitored, but by overseas signal stations for the US.
Narrow it down lol.
The Obama Fascists are taking names and making lists for their soon to be fored "GIVE" LAw funded neighborhood watches.
Bring it on fascists Zerobots. We are ready for ya!
The truth is always there, in the article. You just have to look for it.
Here it is.
“new details are also emerging about earlier domestic-surveillance activities, including the agency’s attempt to wiretap a member of Congress, without court approval, on an overseas trip, current and former intelligence officials said.”
No wonder Obama won’t let Pelosi and her thugs prosecute Bush et al. This is exactly what they want to go after Bush over and Obama’s NSA is doing it more illegally than Bush’s ever did. Too damn funny.
Doesn’t anyone have the intelligence to say that perhaps we have a helluva lot more terrorists, criminals and their supporters in the US than previously thought, which is why more wiretapps/intercepts were needed.
This is especially true with the growth of Mexican drug cartel gangs in the US (notice that they have their greatest strengths in Democrat Party controlled cities).
Obama and his administration are the enemies of America as much as those under surveillance. In fact, some of his political supporters might just show up in future trials, and I say this based on many decades of researching and investigating the Left and the PLO/jihadists.
Carnivore.
I have a few ideas as to who this could be...
That’s not even physically possible.
But don’t let that stop you.
Where’s the outrage?
It’s felt by those in charge that recording phone calls, emails..etc is OK. Then if the need arises they can get a court order to actually pull up a call or email later.
If a phone call is recorded at Fort Meade but never listened to...was it actually a violation of privacy??
Baghdad Bonior, or Jihad Jim McDermott?
I hope,they enjoyed the jokes, I sent my friends.
