Obama on prosecuting Edward Snowden: I will leave it up to the Department of Justice

Posted on by

“Barack Obama addressed what he described as the public ‘ruckus’ over the leaked National Security Agency surveillance documents on Monday, indicating that the US authorities would pursue extradition from Hong Kong of the whistleblower Edward Snowden.  Obama did not offer any more details about the process in his PBS interview.  Instead, he addressed criticism that he has shifted a long way from the liberal positions he championed during his 2008 White House race.  Obama said: ‘My concern has always been not that we shouldn’t do intelligence gathering to prevent terrorism, but rather are we setting up a system of checks and balances.'”

Obama doesn’t believe secret NSA surveillance violated privacy rights: chief of staff

Posted on by

“While he defended the surveillance, McDonough said ‘the existence of these programs obviously have unnerved many people.’ He said Obama ‘welcomes a public debate on this question because he does say and he will say in the days ahead that we have to find the right balance, and we will not keep ourselves on a perpetual war footing.’ Revelations of the NSA’s broad monitoring of phone and Internet data has drawn criticism that the Obama administration has extended, or even expanded, the security apparatus the George W. Bush administration built after the September 11, 2001, attacks.”

FBI’s Patriot Act records requests skyrocket 1,000% under Obama

Posted on by

“The FBI’s use of a controversial Patriot Act provision to demand business records has skyrocketed more than 1,000 percent under President Barack Obama versus his Republican predecessor George W. Bush. The so-called business records provision of the Patriot Act, titled Section 215, is the justification used for the NSA’s massive PRISM intercept program. A single Section 215 order was behind last week’s revelation that Verizon is cooperating with the NSA and handing over millions of phone call records daily. Companies that receive demands for business records under Section 215 of the Patriot Act are also subject to a secret gag order.”

Bill O’Reilly suddenly opposed to NSA surveillance he supported under Bush

Posted on by

“The conservative host described the NSA’s surveillance programs as a ‘massive intrusion.’ O’Reilly warned that ‘corrupt government officials’ could leak sensitive data to hurt their political opponents. He said that keeping actual content of private conversations on file was ‘flat out unconstitutional.’ O’Reilly’s tune was far different under the Bush administration. At the time, he voiced strong support for the NSA’s warrantless wiretapping program, which collected the telephone records of millions of Americans. In 2006, after a judge ruled the program was unconstitutional, O’Reilly speculated that she didn’t care if Americans were killed by terrorists.”

Intelligence chief defends Internet spying program

Posted on by

“Eager to quell a domestic furor over U.S. spying, the nation’s top intelligence official stressed Saturday that a previously undisclosed program for tapping into Internet usage is authorized by Congress, falls under strict supervision of a secret court and cannot intentionally target a U.S. citizen. He decried the revelation of that and another intelligence-gathering program as reckless. For the second time in three days, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper took the rare step of declassifying some details of an intelligence program to respond to media reports about counterterrorism techniques employed by the government.”

Michael Scheuer: Bin Laden predicted Obama’s war on the 4th Amendment

Posted on by

Non-Intervention-Text-and-Logo-Header-Two-Logos2

“More than a decade ago, Osama bin Laden appeared in a brief video to speak about several issues. One of them was to advise the Islamic world that they should expect the U.S. military to be defeated. The other was to suggest that Muslims should be prepared to watch the U.S. government strangle the civil liberties of Americans in the name of prosecuting its war against the Islamist mujahedin.  We have learned that the bin Laden’s second prediction has come to pass in the Obama administration’s expansion of a Bush-era program to collect electronic information on U.S. citizens who are entirely unrelated to the war against the Islamists.”

Edward Snowden, NSA whistleblower: ‘I do not expect to see home again’

Posted on by

“The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife’s phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards. I don’t want to live in a society that does these sort of things … I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under.”
