Sanger:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>WASHINGTON \u2014 Senators of both parties on Wednesday sharply challenged the National Security Agency\u2019s collection of records of all domestic phone calls, even as the latest leaked N.S.A. document provided new details on the way the agency monitors Web browsing around the world. <\/p>\n<p>At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, the chairman, Patrick J. Leahy, Democrat of Vermont, accused Obama administration officials of overstating the success of the domestic call log program. He said he had been shown a classified list of \u201cterrorist events\u201d detected through surveillance, and it did not show that \u201cdozens or even several terrorist plots\u201d had been thwarted by the domestic program. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this program is not effective it has to end. So far, I\u2019m not convinced by what I\u2019ve seen,\u201d Mr. Leahy said, citing the \u201cmassive privacy implications\u201d of keeping records of every American\u2019s domestic calls.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2013\/08\/01\/us\/01nsa-docs.html?ref=us\">Declassified N.S.A. Documents on Data Collection<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On Wednesday, the Obama administration released three documents related to the National Security Agency\u2019s collection of phone records, including briefings to Congress as the relevant provision of the Patriot Act was up for renewal, and a ruling from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that outlines rules that must be followed when accessing data provided by a Verizon subsidiary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>b2evALnk.b2WPAutP <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/?p=9181\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"pingsdone","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9181\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
