The bill may enable the National Security Agency to access Americans&#8217; data even more easily than it already does. And, a new report by award winning reporter Glenn Greenwald published this morning in The Intercept, has found that documents provided by Edward Snowden, show the FBI has been monitoring five high-profile Muslim American leaders in a similar way that it spied on black leaders in the 1960s under Cointelpro.<\/p>\n<p>In a lengthy expose published over the Fourth of July weekend, the Washington Post shed more light on the NSA&#8217;s surveillance program, finding that the vast majority of those people whose data are being collected, are ordinary internet users. Based on a trove of data given to the paper also by Snowden, the Post was able to determine that &#8220;Nine of 10 account holders \u2026 were not the intended surveillance targets but were caught in a net the agency had cast for somebody else.<\/p>\n<p>Many of them were Americans. Nearly half of the surveillance files, a strikingly high proportion, contained names, e-mail addresses or other details that the NSA marked as belonging to U.S. citizens or residents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Post also found that much of the information was deemed not useful by NSA analysts who reviewed the data but was being retained nonetheless, and that the files, &#8220;have a startlingly intimate, even voyeuristic quality. They tell stories of love and heartbreak, illicit sexual liaisons, mental-health crises, political and religious conversions, financial anxieties and disappointed hopes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Ashkan Soltani, an independent privacy and security researcher, regular contributor to the Washington Post<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/national-security\/in-nsa-intercepted-data-those-not-targeted-far-outnumber-the-foreigners-who-are\/2014\/07\/05\/8139adf8-045a-11e4-8572-4b1b969b6322_story.html\">Click here<\/a> to read the article. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Senate Intelligence Committee led by California&#8217;s Dianne Feinstein, passed the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act yesterday in a closed session, which many suspect is a rehash of the controversial CISPA bill decried by civil liberties groups last year.
