NSA Broke Privacy Rules Thousands of Times Per Year, Audit Finds
NettiWelho writes "The Washington Post reports: The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008, according to an internal audit and other top-secret documents. Most of the infractions involve unauthorized surveillance of Americans or foreign intelligence targets in the United States, both of which are restricted by law and executive order. They range from significant violations of law to typographical errors that resulted in unintended interception of U.S. e-mails and telephone calls."
2008? I didn't know Obama POTUS then.
Well...
If the 'Obama'-recession started in 2007, and the 'Obama'-phone program started in 1984, he must have been president in 2008!
2008, 2007, 1984 What party were those presidents from? Oh yeah, that 'less government' party that keeps giving us more government.
Don't listen to what politicians say to you, look at what they actually do. Democrats spend too much money and Republicans spend even more.
1916 US troops occupy the Dominican Republic
1917 US enters WW1
1941 The US enters WW2
1950 The US Invades Korea
1961 US invades the Bay of Pigs
1965 US combat troops enter Vietnam
What party were those presidents from? Oh yeah, the peace loving party. What party was the only president to ever detonate nuclear bombs against another country from?
Republicans are hawks, Democrats enter us in some of the biggest wars.
Republicans are supposed to be for family values, but how many get caught in extramarital affairs?
Democrats want to help the minorities. But almost the entire party fought the civil rights movement.
Don't listen to what any politician says. I'm starting to think that more often than not they will do(or have done) the exact opposite of what they tell you.
