Hoyer: No comparison between Obama, Bush on secret NSA surveillance

/thehill.com

quote:
the Obama administration received the authority to conduct its surveillance from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, according to reports....In another distinction, the NSA under Bush was said to monitor the content of the communications it was intercepting — a level of detail the Obama administration has reportedly not sought in its blanket sweeps.

comment:

There should be no blanket sweeps.  What Bush did was okay in the sense of "hot pursuit".  You don't need a warrant to arrest somebody if you have sufficient cause.  Why don't these people make that distinction?

They make it all appear reasonable.  Bullshit.
