The Obama administration has decided to preserve a controversial arrangement under which a single military official is permitted to direct both the National Security Agency and the military’s cyberwarfare command, U.S. officials said.

The decision by President Obama comes amid signs that the White House is not inclined to impose significant new restraints on the NSA’s activities and favors maintaining an agency program that collects data on virtually every phone call that Americans make, although it is likely to impose additional privacy-protection measures.

"although it is likely to impose additional privacy-protection measures."

Why is the GOP not using this to steamroll the progressives?

We should be taking news like this and the recent Colorado raids and rubbing it in their faces.


It's almost like the GOP supports the NSA's activities and the raids.

The White House has abundantly demonstrated in word and deed where they stand on the Constitution and citizens rights.  Often the contradiction between word and deed has spoken loudest.  No surprise here.

It would be extremely inconvenient, but the entire spying thing is dependent upon communications and can be easily crippled by simply NOT using common forms of communication for anything other than work related purposes. (Cell phones, land lines, radio, mail, etc.)



I would much rather they didn't spy on Americans. But they are going to spy on us. So it boils down to just deciding that it's worth the inconvenience not to give them anything to read, track or listen to.

You know full well that it isn't "almost" like that.

Nixon was booted out of office for a lot less than what Obama has done so far.

F&F-Americans and Mexicans died
failing to follow the Constitution yet again
IRS investigations into opponents

and much more

Nixon had a hostile media to drive public opinion against him. Obama has the media in his pocket.

You're slowly starting to understand how this game is played.  The R's pass the Patriot Act to the self-righteous indignation of the D's.  Then the D's pass Obamacare to the self-righteous indignation of the R's.  Each party secretly relishing the increased power of the federal government for when their particular party is in power.
