House Votes to Limit N.S.A.’s Collection of Phone Data
By JONATHAN WEISMANMAY 22, 2014
WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to rein in the National
Security Agency’s sweeping collection of telephone records, approving
legislation that sharply divided technology advocates and civil libertarians
but united the White House, conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats.
The 303-to-121 vote sent an unambiguous signal that both parties are no longer
comfortable with giving the N.S.A. unfettered power to collect bulk
surveillance data. A year ago, a divided House nearly voted to strip all money
from the N.S.A. for such surveillance, over the protests of the Republican

Obama to Call for End to N.S.A.’s Bulk Data Collection
By CHARLIE SAVAGEMARCH 24, 2014

proposal for a far-reaching overhaul of the National Security Agency’s
once-secret bulk phone records program in a way that — if approved by Congress —
would end the aspect that has most alarmed privacy advocates since its
existence was leaked last year, according to senior administration officials.
Under the proposal, they said, the N.S.A. would end its systematic collection
of data about Americans’ calling habits. The bulk records would stay in the
hands of phone companies, ... ...
Washington (CNN) -- A federal judge said Monday that he believes the
government's once-secret collection of domestic phone records is
unconstitutional, setting up likely appeals and further challenges to the data
mining revealed by classified leaker Edward Snowden.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon said the National Security Agency's bulk
collection of metadata -- phone records of the time and numbers called without

6. 美國前總統卡特評NSA網絡監視, 並表示憂慮和關切:
Former US president Jimmy Carter has admitted he uses snail mail to evade
monitoring by the National Security Agency and that he feels such surveillance
methods have been abused.
"When I want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, I type or
write a letter myself, put it in the post office, and mail it," Carter
said with a laugh, as he was questioned on the matter on NBC's "Meet the
Press" program.
"I have felt that my own communications are probably monitored," he
said on the Sunday show.
A trove of documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden have
sparked outrage in the United
States and abroad about the vast
capabilities... ...

---- WASHINGTON
POST 幫著SNOWDEN泄漏了＂國家機密＂, 其主編沒被撤職. 而該報還因此得了新聞最高獎(普利策獎). 我們中國能做到這樣嗎？
隨著越來越多的監聽內幕文件曝光於世人，美國在網絡上的種種，怎麽辯駁都顯得蒼白了吧？
畢竟，監聽文件是你的文件，斯諾登這人，是你的人！
