overreach. which side is right? for a closer look at the issueie we are joined which the michelle mitchardson from the legislative council. the government national security agency collecting thecn records of millions ofions of americans, the phone records, internet messages and all ofall that kind of thing, the government, the white house says, we need to do this, we have been doing it for several l years.yea. it's no se secret inside of the security world and that kind of thing.thing. to thwart terrorism and other security dangers, what is the aclu's view of that. >> the aclu is very concerned. these prarms were sold as targeting terrorists and peoplee overseas who don't havedon' constitutional rights, but in the last 24 hours we learnedlead they're operating here in the te u.s. and collecting information on every day americans who are e

just talking to other americans. >> if there's -- here is what iw heard during the last day or so. they are collecting all of this data, but it's not that they're just eavesdropping you on or me, or whoever, just at random. they're looking for specificfori information and specific typessc of information and transmission. does that that narrow it enoughu to 'ease your concerns.s. >> no, the government shouldn'th be obtaining the information ine the first place unless it has an actual warrant to obtain the e information based on the some se suspicion of wrongdoing.wrondoin right now there's a collectingg everything in case they need it later which violates the 4th amendment. >> house intelligence chair mike rogers says by doing this they y have already thwarted some terrorism plot. plot and some would argue that inat this day and age in the post 9/11 world, we are to do what we have to do to protect this this nation and its citizens. isn't that a rational argument?

of thing.o what i'm hearing if it's just jt the collection of data, not thee interpreting of all of that data and all of that kind, it's justs kind of there, unless they havey cause to look into a particular file or phone record or reco something like that, that it's understandable and it's something that a lost people pe feel like, okay, we get it. it. >> well that would be the same e kind of idea like the police should be able to come into your house and take pictures, butct they're not going to look at at them unless later you're caughtt doing something wrong.mething by then it's too late, the privacy violation has already happened. we have a longstanding traditiog in this country that the the suspicion comes first. first >> with the acknowledgment thath this has been going on for for several years, what do you think needs to happen next, because there's no indication from theoe security agencies that they'reat not going to do this? >> right, congress needs to havs a full and open investigation. n
