Note, I am not surprised some of this has happened ( and will continue to happen) , this thing has become so large and all encompassing, mistakes, honest mistakes are bound to happen, fine.

But, these are a LOT of 'mistakes', I wonder how congress feels getting caught up in one of these 'mistakes'?..and the overstepping of authority? after the first several times(?), speaks to a premeditation or delibracy..........


The NSA knew this audit existed as they were trying to get the Post to change some quotes ex antefacto;

NSA statements to The Post - The Washington Post

ergo; Obama knew this audit existed, what the general findings were.

When he came out Friday for one of his ultra rare press conferences he tried to massage the NSA consternation ( call it a Lois Lerner let me sorta hint at this bombshell now so I can say I did) , which btw fooled few, no one, as even democratic intel committee members cannot remember Obama even once, saying a word to the Intel committees about rethinking, starting a 'discussion', zip. However, Holder, and with alacrity, did secure and re-secure all of the Pat. Act. provisioning necessary to carry out the NSA mission as it stands and has stood when he came on board.






NSA broke privacy rules thousands of times per year, audit finds


The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008, according to an internal audit and other top-secret documents.

Most of the infractions involve unauthorized surveillance of Americans or foreign intelligence targets in the United States, both of which are restricted by statute and executive order. They range from significant violations of law to typographical errors that resulted in unintended interception of U.S. e-mails and telephone calls.

NSA mines data.


I'm sure they have broken it millions of times

So, what are the odds that anyone is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law? I'll give 1:17 trillion
 

And what were you folks saying during the Bush administration?

Lemme see if I can remember...

"If you are doing nothing wrong, then you have nothing to worry about".

And the other conservative chesnut:

"The constitution doesn't protect your privacy".

:lol:

They are following the law.

SEE: Patriot Act.

Can you not fucking read?

It seems you've successfully taken over TM's former spot, Shallow. Jeebus, you're dumb, dude.

Yes..it wasn't like the NSA and the Bush administration were scouring Airline manifests, Medical and Library records.

Oh wait..they were.

:eusa_whistle:

And your folks in Congress had a chance to repeal this.

They didn't. Oh wait..you don't have any folks in congress, since you don't vote and are an anarchist, right?

:eusa_boohoo: Boo fucking hoo.
 
Note that this is an internal audit by the NSA, which almost guarantees that it's lowballed and glosses over other transgressions. This is why simply "reforming" the NSA is a pointless endeavor. They don't follow their own rules now, why would they if those rules were more restrictive?

It's a sad day when a POTUS thinks he's an emperor and can break ties with a national US tradition that saves the man on the street from a tyrant.

Did you see me mention Bush?

What's the obvious? I am confused.
Has there been another incident where I have tried to defend this by bringing up Bush?

And no I am not shocked by the NSA illegally doing anything. To me all this has been happening illegally or legally since I don't know the beginning of the Cold War if not before.

Some of that data is about you and me
