NSA wiretapping

Filed under:Controversial — posted by Tom on October 9, 2007 @ 5:50 pm

It is believed that the Democrats will back a law to extend the NSA wiretapping privileges. The reason they will do that is because they do not want to appear soft on terrorism.

The law allows the NSA to eavesdrop on emails and phones calls to or from another country. This is supposed to stop terrorism even if one or both parties is a US citizen.

Civil liberties groups say this gives too much power to the government and leaves it open to be abused. I agree, where is the system of checks and balances here?

This is an important law to be paying attention to.
