political : BUSH ADMINISTRATION GOAL: TO CREATE A DATABASE OF EVERY PHONE CALL EVER MADE IN THE U.S [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Thu May 11, 06 - Tue Feb 03, 09 How do you feel about the Bush Administration creating a massive database of every phone call, for which there is a record, ever made in the U.S.? Is this unprecedented act of domestic spying on virtually every American an acceptable price to pay in the war on terror, or is is it an outrageous abandonment of the principles on which this country was founded? * * * * * * * * * * NSA has massive database of Americans' phone calls Updated 5/11/2006 10:38 AM ET By Leslie Cauley, USA TODAY The National Security Agency has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans, using data provided by AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth, people with direct knowledge of the arrangement told USA TODAY. The NSA program reaches into homes and businesses across the nation by amassing information about the calls of ordinary Americans — most of whom aren't suspected of any crime. This program does not involve the NSA listening to or recording conversations. But the spy agency is using the data to analyze calling patterns in an effort to detect terrorist activity, sources said in separate interviews. "It's the largest database ever assembled in the world," said one person, who, like the others who agreed to talk about the NSA's activities, declined to be identified by name or affiliation. The agency's goal is "to create a database of every call ever made" within the nation's borders, this person added. For the customers of these companies, it means that the government has detailed records of calls they made — across town or across the country — to family members, co-workers, business contacts and others. Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden, nominated Monday by President Bush to become the director of the CIA, headed the NSA from March 1999 to April 2005. In that post, Hayden would have overseen the agency's domestic call-tracking program. Hayden declined to comment about the program. I agree with the creation of this database I'm against the creation of this database Perfectly normal behaviour for this Admin.
