AMERICA, FKA LAND OF THE FREE — This week saw two revelations about the National Security Agency surface in succession. First, on Wednesday, The Guardian reported that the NSA has been collecting information on all of Verizon’s customers on an “ongoing, daily basis” since April. The very next day, the Washington Post reported that the NSA, along with the FBI, has been tapping into the servers of nine U.S. Internet companies and extracting everything from emails to video chats.
Today, it was revealed that the tip-off for both of those stories came from an unlikely source: President Barack Obama.
