Feinstein Seeks Investigation on NSA Surveillance

We told you heads were going to roll over the latest wiretapping news. And Sen. Dianne Feinstein is leading the way.
The chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee says she will look into The New York Times report this week that the National Security Agency was involved in "over collection" of e-mail and telephone surveillance data in the United States.
"These are serious allegations, and we will make sure we get the facts," Feinstein, D-CA, said in a statement. “The committee is looking into this, and we will hold a hearing on this subject within one month."
Meanwhile, the NSA news has caused some civil libertarians to renew their call to restore old protections in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
"It was a classic I-told-you-so moment," Washington ACLU Director Caroline Fredrickson told The Washington Independent. "So many protections in FISA were dismantled by the FISA Amendments Act. We predicted this would happen."

As long as we don’t take the NSA off government workers and put them on all the "dangerous right wingers" (aka people who don’t agree with Obama) then I agree with Feinstein! But the winds are already blowing in that direction and it’s not good.
