According to the reporter who first broke the NSA wiretapping story, there is no proof the agency has scaled back its interception of the personal phone calls and email messages of American citizens as promised by the Obama administration or even that it is being straight with Congress about its activities.
one NSA analyst was even found to have been reading the private email of former President Bill Clinton.
many NSA analysts had been abusing their powers in other ways. “It sounded like, from the former NSA analyst that we interviewed, that it was rare to access the emails of celebrities or famous people,” Risen stated, “but that it was fairly routine, according to him, for people to access the emails of girlfriends or wives or other people that they might know.”
he is not convinced that the NSA … has put an end to it.
this may be a flagrant problem that is continuing.”
there’s “a division within Congress” on whether or not they’re getting straight answers from the NSA.
