    WSJ report that NSA spied on Congress and Israel communications very disturbing. Actually outrageous. Maybe unprecedented abuse of power.

      .@petehoekstra Outrageous NSA spies on ordinary citizens. But detecting Israeli espionage sounds like what it *should* be doing.

      @petehoekstra Why are you upset that they spy on a foreign power? Remember, you represent Michigan, not Israel.
