Interesting how something our President publicly loathed has become something he quietly needs to enforce his agenda of persecuting political opponents.
A foreign paper (not James Rosen!) outed the Obama Administration's top secret court order to the National Security
Agency (NSA) which demands that Verizon give the NSA information on all telephone
calls in its systems on an “ongoing, daily basis” over a three month
period. This includes calls made both within the U.S. and between the
U.S. to other countries.
In 2006, Senator Obama came out against the Patriot Act and settled on compromises to it as detailed here in how own words.
This order only directs Verizon to comply. What are the odds the other carriers aren't also involved?
You're still being spied upon by your won government. If you voted for him, you asked for it.
