Mass. rep demands FCC action in NSA phone-spy case
U.S. Rep. Edward Markey yesterday demanded the Federal Communications Commission either launch an investigation into telecommunications companies that provided millions of customersâ?? phone records to the National Security Agency or explain how the program is lawful.
In a letter sent to FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, Markey (D-Malden) said major telecommunication companies - including AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth - might have broken customer privacy laws by supplying phone records to the NSA’s massive spy program.
“I would like to know what the Commission intends to do with respect to probing these apparent breaches” of customer privacy laws, Markey said in the letter.
Just one step closer to possibly getting down to the source of this information…According to the Boston Herald approximately 51% of Americans disapprove of the NSA phone record database…the more outraged Americans become the more you’re going to see government officials run to oppose this if for no better reason but to cover their own asses and to gain votes…remember that even Senators have to use a cell phone provider and all of their phone calls are being recorded…If you think back a few years ago Newt Gingrich was forced into stepping down after a phone call he placed was recorded by someone using a scanner…I’m sure a lot of our government officials have said things they hope NEVER make it to the public’s ears…Welcome to CrzyLand
