In reply to the discussion: The President should separate himself from this NSA debate. [View all]Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)The whining I read just on this site, some will never be happy with his explanation. I also doubt some information will never be given unless years have passed because of security issues. Many times I have posted the phone call records collected does not belong to individuals but it is property of the communication companies and therefore a warrant issued to those companies covers the warrant issue. If there was a need to collect evidence from an individual then a warrant would be issued to deal with an individual incident and if it is a wiretap of a certain number this warrant would als be issued. This is nit as simple as some believe, if wiretapping is required on your number you would not necessary be notified. As far as the president knowing everything, we know this is not possible, ergo the need for cabinet members, department heads, etc. We need some reality here.
