Senator Bernie Sanders Asks NSA If Agency Is Spying On Congress
cold fjord writes with this excerpt from Fox News: "A U.S. senator on Friday pressed the National Security Agency on whether its controversial spying practices extend to monitoring members of Congress. 'Has the NSA spied, or is the NSA currently spying, on members of Congress or other American elected officials?' Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., asked in a letter to NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander released from the senator's office. Sanders, a self-described 'democratic socialist,' defines spying as monitoring the phone calls, emails and internet traffic of elected officials."
Head of NSA: We swear that we aren't conducting illegal spying on any individual member of Congress.
Sen. Sanders: Pinky swear?
Head of NSA: Pinky swear! Um, but not with that hand. We know what you've been doing with that hand.
I mean if they are "exempt" from being spied on it seems logical the "terrorists" would become members of congress and avoid being spied on.
Some people are just gullible.
Disturbing that its an elected official.
Shame on Vermont for sending a bumpkin.

This is clearly a case where out-sourcing and off-shoring is the way to go. I suggest that MSS, the Chinese secret service, should be given preferred bidder status.
At least he believes in evolution, unlike certain members of the other side.
Well, according to a recent report, more people on the other side used to, but apparently they've, um "evolved".
