Thorns to Obama for secretly collecting phone records of American citizens

From the editorial page of The Pottstown Mercury:

THORNS to the practice of secretly collecting the telephone records of millions of U.S. customers of Verizon under a top secret court order. The Obama administration defended the National Security Agency's need to collect telephone records of U.S. citizens, but critics said it was a huge over-reach. A senior administration official did not confirm the Guardian newspaper report that the NSA has been collecting the records, but the authenticity of the document was not disputed by the White House. The newspaper said the document, a copy of which it had obtained, shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records of millions of U.S. citizens are being collected indiscriminately and in bulk, regardless of whether the people are suspected of any wrongdoing. No one's talking about the report. What's frightening is who may be listening.
