Is this really the legacy you want for yourself: the chief executive who trampled rights, destroyed privacy, heightened secrecy, ruined trust, and worst of all, did not defend but instead detoured around so many of the fundamental principles on which this country is founded? And I voted for you. I'll confess you were a second choice. I supported Hillary Clinton first. I said at the time that your rhetoric about change was empty and that I feared you would be another Jimmy Carter: aggressively ineffectual. Never did I imagine that you would instead become another Richard Nixon: imperial, secretive, vindictive, untrustworthy, inexplicable.]]> theguardian article news august 2013 2013_08_22 jeff_jarvis obama surveillance nsa cia fisa america usa spying privacy police_state https://pinboard.in/u:Seumas/b:fb705039eb10/ 2013-08-25T15:09:10+00:00 http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/23/nsa-prism-costs-tech-companies-paid/print SeumasThe National Security Agency paid millions of dollars to cover the costs of major internet companies involved in the Prism surveillance program after a court ruled that some of the agency's activities were unconstitutional, according to top-secret material passed to the Guardian. The technology companies, which the NSA says includes Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and Facebook, incurred the costs to meet new certification demands in the wake of the ruling from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (Fisa) court. The October 2011 judgment, which was declassified on Wednesday by the Obama administration, found that the NSA's inability to separate purely domestic communications from foreign traffic violated the fourth amendment.]]> article news august 2013 2013_08_22 theguardian nsa government google yahoo surveillance prism obama 2011 2012 fisa security spying america usa ewen_macaskill
