Can you hear me now? NSA & Verizon can - 6/6/2013 5:15:44 AM

Status: offline 		Verizon and the NSA linked in collecting three months of phone numbers between americans and furrigners.

The White House is defending itself against charges it secretly obtained records for Verizon phone calls made in the United States, arguing that the policy is a vital tool in monitoring terrorists and has the approval of “all three branches of government,” according to a senior administration official.
“On its face, the order reprinted in the article does not allow the government to listen in on anyone’s telephone calls,” a White House official said. “The information acquired does not include the content of any communications or the name of any subscriber. It relates exclusively to metadata, such as a telephone number or the length of a call.”

The question that needs to be set is as follows. "Would you allow records of who you call (Not what you say) to be kept for security purposes ?"

My answer would be yes but with two provisos.

1) If records are kept solely for counter terrorist purposes.

2) If they are destroyed within a short period of time.

I am unsure what reason the Patriot Act provides for such records to be held but it must just be for terrorism, imho.

According to the court order, they can't "hear me now," but they do know when I'm making a call.

It's a step up from the Patriot Act's invasion of privacy. Some Democrats loudly booed (rightly so) some of this shit when it passed under Bush, but both sides had hand in passing and extending the provisions, so neither side is blameless.

Patriot Act of 2001:

House Vote: 357 - 66 - 9
    REPUBLICAN.....211(Y)......3(N).....5(NV)
    DEMOCRATIC....145(Y)....62(N).....4(NV)
    INDEPENDENT......1(Y)......1(N)
    TOTALS............357(Y)....66(N).....9(NV)


Senate Vote: 98 - 1 - 1
    REPUBLICAN.....50(Y)
    DEMOCRATIC....48(Y).....1(N).....1(NV)
    TOTALS............98(Y).....1(N).....1(NV)

even tho Im not in the US, I do speak often with friends, customers, etc on a frequent basis, four or five times a day it seems lately, but im not in the least surprised , Ive been aware of the likelihood/probability of that and worse for longer than ten years.

what gets signed by the US govt never stays in the US, they push other countries to do the same shite.. My biggest problem with the US govt is that the crap they come up with in their various "wars", be it terrorism, drugs, tax evaders, etc.. they push that outside their borders..

Oh, come on, now. There's no way the US Government engages in "mission creep."

lol

And people wonder why I support limitation of the authority and reach of government.

You're wrong! This is exactly the argument for expanding government so that they can keep us safe and guarantee that the "bad guys" won't destroy our way of life.



Peace and comfort,

Easy call in hind sight. But what if someone sets off a killer blast here after exchanging a series of phone calls with a number in a locale known to be embedded with Islamistist dedicated to attacking American interests? In that case it would be legitimate to ask why our intel services at NSA ignored the local phone caller. Easy to criticise when we are not charged with the duty of protecting the nation. And why is it an either/or function. Surely, all avenues of gathering pertinent intel should be used.

This court order also okays the gathering of metadata of calls that originate from and stay within the US.

Then they came for the Veterans,

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Okay then. I can see where those calls would be useful if a local number has already been identified with a "bad guy." But, what about throw away phones? Aren't they an avenue for avoiding detection? Or am I misinformed on their utility?

Are you okay with having this information in the hands of the US Government; All call metadata, regardless of source, target recipient, or even content (which they can't see according to this)?

Depends on how it is used. Otherwise, what's the harm?
