“The Obama administration‘s decision to seize phone records from the Associated Press was ‘unconstitutional’ and sends a message that ‘if you talk to the press, we are going to go after you’, the news agency’s boss Gary Pruitt said Sunday. AP revealed last week that the Justice Department had obtained two months’ worth of phone records of calls made by reporters and editors without informing the organisation in advance. The move was an apparent effort by US officials to identify the source of a story about the CIA foiling an alleged terrorist plot by an al Qaida terrorist affiliate in Yemen.”
