    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.

        @middlerightwing @1200CreativeInn Do you really want to end all US spying on foreign electronic communications? That might help terrorists.

        @Loxodonta_s @1200CreativeInn I want a government that doesn't cause me to have to even think about abuse of tools meant for our security.

        @middlerightwing @1200CreativeInn Yes. I'd like such a government as well. Unfortunately, a majority of Americans elected Obama twice.
