"The scale of America's
surveillance state
was laid bare on Thursday
as senior politicians revealed that the
US counter-terrorism effort had swept
up swaths of personal data from the
phone calls of millions of citizens for years.
After the revelation by the Guardian
of a sweeping secret court order that
authorised the FBI to seize all call records
from a subsidiary of Verizon,
the Obama administration sought to
defuse mounting anger over what
critics described as the broadest
surveillance ruling ever issued.
A White House spokesman said that
laws governing such orders "are something
that have been in place for a number of years now"
and were vital for protecting national security.
Dianne Feinstein, the Democratic chairwoman
of the Senate intelligence committee,
said the Verizon court order had been
in place for seven years. "People want the
homeland kept safe," Feinstein said."
