Administration, the nsa has been picking stuff out of the air going back at least to the 70s. secondly, the issue is whether you cross a line by going into people who are not subjects of terrorism or potentially subjects of terrorism and getting their stuff anyway. when you do that, as eric says, you breach the fourth amendment. it is in my view unconstitutional. the guy should be given a pardon and in my view considered not heroic necessarily but somebody who is fed up with what he was seeing g...

Im skeptical of him, however, bill. i think he hasnt been very clear and specific about the kinds of abuses he claims have happened or could happen. he hasnt cited any specifics even in terms of the way he described them. so im a little worried about him. in fact, bill, i would say to you that the thing that has worried me most about this program is that this guy got a security clearance. i wonder how he did it and i wonder if there are not a lot of other guys. >> allen subcontractor. >> he does...

Now he could. >> i am skeptical as well. it is interesting to see where the parties are falling. some on the left, and some on the right. some on the right staunchly defend this program. i think there are definitely some abuses here, however, when you look at all of the facts in front of you, you cant help but look and say this administration cant be trusted. >> you have to go to the patriot act, create harsh penalties. rather than discontinue that could stop a terrorist attack, we are talking a...

Legal hoops to do that, and it is actually pretty difficult. having said that, like i said before, theres always going to be abuses and the thing is do you get rid of something because theres a human falliblity. we know we cannot as human beings collect this days a. the only way to get every one of these companies to react together is through the government, and believe me, i hate the government and i know the government will commit -- >> youre talking about bordering on civil liberties of ameri...

Foreigner of terrorism. that is totally different from the irs abuses which i think are very serious. >> but, again, mr. crystal discounts a corrupt federal officials could very well look at stored email data. who is going to stop them? by the way, texts are not in play. they are not stored by the communication companies like verizon. so this is one big mess. ideologically, absolute chaos. here is a partial list of people who support the nsa surveillance program called prism, in support nature j...

Read out. its interesting to wonder from a legal perspective how a government program to take telephony meta data from verizon could be tangible to a investigation. it really raises questions. as the brookings institution recently wrote, about anything at all under that interpretation is excluded as a tangible record relevant to an investigation. this is why some senators today are putting forward a new bill to force the fisa court that oversees all of these laws in secret to disclose exactly wh...

Abus abuses. we dont so far know that either of these programs have been abused in the sense that it was used to learn about peoples political views, learn about american citizens,citizens, the believes, their religious believes, what have you. but clearly people are very concerned about the scope of these programs, particularly the verizon program as its been called because it involves essentially the metadata, the call information of every american. even though it is under court authorization,...
