Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt is slamming the NSA for possibly using the company's data centers as well as people's phone records, even questioning the legality of the spy agency's conduct.

"It's really outrageous that the National Security Agency was looking between the Google data centers, if that's true," Schmidt said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal published Monday. "The steps that the organization was willing to do without good judgment to pursue its mission and potentially violate people's privacy, it's not OK."
