Obama Defends NSA Spying

"President Obama continues to defend government surveillance programs overseen by his administration this week. The president told Charlie Rose he has no problem with NSA tactics and insists the surveillance is minimally invasive and necessary for national security."*

President Obama is going on the record saying NSA surveillance is fine, and that he "doesn't have a problem with it." Obama says the program is "tranparent" but just how transparent is a secret court? Cenk Uygur and Sam Seder (Host, Majority Report) discuss.

Most of Canadian data traffic goes through the US, so the NSA collects data on it and sends it back to CSEC, since CSEC isn't allowed to spy on Canadian citizens. They have sort of a deal going that allows them to circumvent spying regulations. If you look up "CSEC and NSA" you should be able to find the articles on this.

It's a great partnership, Sam and Cenk. Would love to continue seeing this.

Sam Seder is the best. He is very insightful. Love listening to this guy.

Jorgen, thank you for taking interest in what America is really about.
It makes me feel better as an American citizen hearing symapthy and solidarity from other countries.
That feeling vanishes as I hear that this is happening all over the world.
I have told many Americans that this is bigger than Left vs. Right. But now I see that this problem is bigger than even America. This is a problem for all of humanity.
I can't believe this is happening in Norway

Nice job, Cenk.

At least you found it in your heart to finally and truly criticize Obama.

[roush]

Don't you ever get tired of doing this.

Excellent comment! Normally I would just 'thumbs up' but that was a superb spot by you.

[SatanicBunny]

I know. I just felt the need to point out that what is legal and what is moral is not always the same thing.

"It's ironic that officials are giving classified information to journalists in an effort to discredit me for giving classified information to journalists. The difference is that I did so to inform the public about the government's actions, and they're doing so to misinform the public about mine." - Edward Snowden

Its a sad day when people have to fight against their own government to get any justice. Shame, shame, shame.
