.....to blame George W. Bush for all of O's NSA excesses:
Former President George W. Bush first authorized the National Security Agency's phone and Internet surveillance programs just after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, National Intelligence Director James Clapper said Saturday as part of declassified disclosures about the programs' beginnings.
Both the Bush and Obama administrations have been fighting civil liberties advocates' demands for years to disclose details about the extent of the program — and on Friday, the Obama administration ordered some of the information about the beginnings of the programs to be declassified, reports the Wall Street Journal.
I don't know 'bout y'all, but I'd rather see the damning, non-national security-related evidence of the last five years be declassified. Unfortunately, that will have to wait for a Republican administration that will never come.
