Take away the National Security Agency’s ability to tap into telephone records, and the nation is left unsecure — that’s the claim of the head of the NSA, Gen. Keith Alexander, to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“There is no other way that we know of to connect the dots,” he said, during a hearing about the growing security threats America faces, particularly from Iraq and Syria, The Daily Mail reported. “Taking these programs off the table is absolutely not the thing to do.”
He was referring specifically to the NSA’s collection of billions of telephone calls — revelations that were recently revealed by leaked documents from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The fact that the federal government may have accumulated data on millions of Americans’ telephone records has outraged privacy and civil rights groups, and angered many in Congress.
