Rand Paul: "It's Time to Trash the NSA's Mass Surveillance of Americans, For Good"

Writing in The Guardian

Director of Intelligence James Clapper now says the National Security Agency (NSA) should have been more open about the fact that they were spying on all Americans.

I'm glad he said this. But there is no excuse for lying in the first place.

When Senator Ron Wyden (a Democrat from Oregon) asked Director Clapper during an intelligence hearing in March of last year if the NSA was collecting the data of millions of Americans, the director lied under oath and denied the charge.
