Obama: NSA ‘Inadvertently, Accidentally’ Pulled Emails of Americans

[Locutus]

AUBURN, N.Y. — President Barack Obama is acknowledging he must “do a better job” of giving Americans confidence in the programs the National Security Agency has deployed to guard against terrorism.


Obama says the administration should “continue to improve the safeguards” of these initiatives.


His remarks on CNN’s “New Day” show Friday came in the wake of new revelations that the electronic spying program scooped up as many as 56,000 emails and other communications annually over three years by Americans not connected to terrorism.


The president conceded the NSA had “inadvertently, accidentally, pulled the emails” of some Americans.



But he also said the programs are necessary, “these aren’t unique to the NSA” and the United States has to adapt “in the right way” to the confluence of terrorist threats and rapidly advancing technology.

For they past 35+ years they've accidental monitored civilian communications?

It's not just an American thing.

Did you know all mail in Canada is scanned and read along with P codes noted from send to receiver? Do we blame Harper or our own stupidity for letting it happen?

And if you like the health care plan you have now... you can keep it.

According to the powers that be, al Qaeda still hasn't figured out they are being monitor and do conference calls about terrorist plots.

Man my sides were aching from laughing last week when they upped the boogieman threat level.

Do people really still believe that crap?

Come on guys, where is all that "Patriot Act" patriotism? The "ooh oohs" at neocon conventions meant nothing?

It was a different tune on here 7-8 years ago when "if you don't like it you can leave country or I have nothing to hide or you're with the terrorists" wasn't it?

Anyone who disagreed and said "this isn't about terrorists it about taking your rights" was labelled a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist.

Who was right?
