NSA Record Collection OK With Americans

NSA Record Collection OK With Americans
John Hinderaker

ABC reports on the results of its overnight poll on the public's response to the leak about the NSA's phone record analysis program:

Americans by nearly a 2-1 ratio call the surveillance of telephone records an acceptable way for the federal government to investigate possible terrorist threats, expressing broad unconcern even if their own calling patterns are scrutinized.

NSA Is at It Again
Sgt Hook

We are at war people with an enemy that wants you dead.
