“Obama on the Jay Leno show said ‘We don’t have a domestic spying program.’ He said ‘What we do have are some mechanisms where we can track a phone number or an e-mail address that we know is connected to some sort of terrorist threat.’ Obama is incorrect. The XKeyscore program of the NSA spies on everyone. ‘A top secret National Security Agency program allows analysts to search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals, according to documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden.’ It’s not the only program of the government.”
