when you get the allegations like the metadata program, that is not the case, but we have to deal with the perception. some of the things we're doing, we are trying to make sure we can declassify more information so that we get people more information so they know we are always following the law but also trying to protect the american people.

an order to produce bulk telephony metadata has to challenge the legality of such an order indeed no recipient of any section two fifteen order has challenged the legality of such an order despite the explicit statutory mechanism for doing so in other words with just a rare exception of qwest communications in two thousand and six not a single one of the telecom companies that we trust with our data protested when the government said hand over the data but the opinion goes on to reveal that the court believes members of congress were being fully briefed on this program to the court says quote in light of the importance of the national security programs that were set to expire the executive branch and relevant congressional committees work together to ensure that each member of congress knew or had the opportunity to know how section two fifteen was being implemented under this court's documentation. we now know that didn't happen congressman justin amash congressman alan grayson and congressman morgan griffith have all come forward to talk about how requests they made for more inform

the n-s-a isn't only tracking metadata from your phone calls and e-mail logs, it's using that information to create a sophisticated web of social connections of some u-s citizens, according to documents leaked to the new york times. "we assume, as americans, that if somebody... if the government is looking at your information, it's because they have a reason, because you're suspected of a crime." this slide from an n-s-a powerpoint presentation shows how analysts use software to create diagrams to chart a person's social ties, locations at certain times, their traveling companions and other personal information, according to the documents leaked by former government contractor edward snowden. the policy shift intended to help the agency "discover and track" when there's a link between an intelligence interest overseas and a u-s citizen the n-s-a can also draw on material from facebook profiles, g-p-s location information, insurance information, property records and other public and commercial sources to better analyze americans' phone and e-mail logs. "now we now know from these leaks tha

this might not be feasible without access to both metadata.onnections might not be feasible if the data were not collected for a sufficient amount of time because telecommunication providers currently have no statutory obligation to retain that data. complying they must also comply with the constitution. the supreme court decision is direct lay on point. say -- they convey information, have no expectation of privacy. some have questioned the applicability of this because it irty years over th ago. the recent report addressed that issue. grouping together a large number of similarly situated individuals cannot result in a fourth amendment interest springing into existence. i understand there is some interest in legislating reforms to the programs and other aspects of fisa. we welcome having public debate and discussion about whether the current version of 215 and other versions strike the right balance between national security and privacy of our citizens, both of which are important. we look forward to addressing this issue. much.nk you very w

they may not be listening, but they know more from the metadata because they know who you are talking to, where you are going, who your social network it, where you travel. it's like having an fbi agent following or stalking you. only it's invisible because it's digital. >> how is this working? are they truly going through facebook profiles seeing how different people are connected, is it that minute. >> that is a part of it, but just a small piece of it. social network analysis is you put someone in the center of a map and you say, "who else are they talking to. you look for patterns of interaction. who is that circle of people talking to. let's say they come on to a piece of information. they can check the person's social network to see the places they may have gone, people they talk to, things they say and habits that law enforcement hope will give a clue to help them in their investigation. that is a slippery slope to collecting all information about everybody, law-abiding or terrorist. then you have policy problems, and civil liberty problems. >> this is it legal, correct. >> it

not only do we know that the nsa can access your phone and e-mail metadata, but it has accidentally collected citizen information in the past. there are numerous cases of blatant abuse. we also know the agency is sharing this data with other government entities and other countries. this controversy was dominating political conversation before congress who are now on recess, but it has taken over the spotlight. one congressman is ready to dismantle the patriot act that gives the government these kinds of overreaching surveillance capabilities. he is also willing to take on parts of the foreign intelligence surveillance act as well. senator holt of new jersey joined earlier to talk about his efforts to rein in the government and joined me earlier about why it is so important to him. >> we have seen a lot of excesses and missteps come to public attention now. the nsa has gone out of bounds for a number of ways. their heavy-handed manipulation of encryption, of codes, with heavy-handed approach to whistleblowers. all of this is coming to light. it means that the legislation i introduced months ag

act that had the secret interpretation of this law that's allowed them to gather all of this phone metadata on every american citizen they have had for seven years and we just found out about it two months ago. they have been scanning large canties of e-mails going overseas and the americans barely knew about this. sothe privacy connections for americans have been weakened and almost in secret. hopefully the revelation also force congress to act to pass bill reform. >> the mayor of chicago has apologized for the actions of a former police commander and others involved in the torture of black suspects. this is a part of a 12 million-dollar court settlement. >> the price for more than two decades behind bars in chicago, an apology and 12 12.5 million. that's the amount the city council agreed to pay marvin reeds and wally pigeon after the police beat and tortured them into confessing to four murder in 199 #. the city later declared them innocent. >> we do not kid ourselves that the fight is over or that the city has somehow become a kinder, gentler one. i don't think that's the case. >> the m

they have had this secret interpretation of this law that has allowed them to gather this phone metadataanning large quantities of emails going overseas. so there's the privacy protections for americans have really been weakened and almost in secret, so hopefully these revelations will force congress to act and to pass real reform. >>> people in germany could vote in their first black member of parliament. he was born in sin gal, and often when he was 7 years old, for 12 years he had been a german citizen. >> reporter: it's election time. but this social democratic candidate is one of a time. he is black. he holds a doctor at it in chemistry was beaten up for his skin color years ago. in east germany racism runs higher than elsewhere. but that is not stopping him. >> translator: [ inaudible ] infant stage, we are a developing country in this regard. political parties haven't recognized the potential of immigrants. they could really enrich the political process. >> reporter: nationwide only about 4% of the candidates running for parliament are of immigrant background. the proportion of mi

using phone metadata an online created, the nsa has intricate graphs showing individuals social networking an extensive personal information including whereabouts, religious or political activity, and private behavior. the mapping has been in effect when the nsa lifted restrictions that are the targeting of americans. the nsa says the aim is to uncover ties between americans and foreign terrorist suspects. the piece disclosing this was in "the new york times." department is filing suit against north carolina today over the state's new voting law. the lawsuit will challenge provisions forcing voters to present a government issued photo id at the polls, shrinking early voting by we, eliminating same-day registration, and limiting provisional ballots cast outside of voters home precinct. the north carolina measure was one of the first set of voting restrictions passed by state since the u.s. supreme court struck down the key provision of the voting rights act in june. attorney general eric holder is expected to also seek a new ruling that would force north carolina to receive preclearance for

the public record, only one case -- what is controversial in the united states is the telephone metadata. americans care less about overseas e-mail traffic. in only one case of the 212 cases since 9/11 came out of the telephone program and it is a trivial case -- a guy in san diego sending money to al shabab, only a few hundred -- aars. fewthat is not something thousand dollars. someone would want to encourage but the government had access to all your phone records for the past five years. no matter how carefully they manage that program, who is to say some future administration five years down the road does not have the same view of the way this eta should be handled? -- the data should be handled? that would be question one. are we in a situation -- i was astonished by the " new york times" story where essentially any program you use in the united states on a computer has a mandated backdoor into it that the and as a can get into. -- that the nsa can get into. it seems like an un-american concept that everything -- obviously, two people involved in this are well intentioned. i thought

the nsa isn't only tracking metadata from your phone calls and e-mail logs, it is using that informationicated web of some u.s. citizens, documents leaked to the fork times. >> we assume as americans if somebody, if the government is locking at your information, it's because they have a reason because you are suspected of a crime. >> reporter: this presentation shows how analysts use software to create diagrams to chart a person's social ties, locations at social times, their traveling companions and other personal information. according to documents leaked by a former government contractor edward snowden. the policy shift intended to help the agency discover and track when there is a link between an intelligence interest overseas and a u.s. citizen, the nsa can draw material from facebook profiles, gps location information, insurance information and property records and public and commercial sources to better analyze american's phone and e-mail locks. >> now we know from these leaks this is how the government is operating, that there is a much broader swath of people that americans are

at it in the broader sense, is that nsa is so focused on internal functions, to look at e-mail, metadatars, only, the united states, we are now dependent on foreign partners for intelligence on foreign targets. >> justice department told fox news that the telephone records are maintained at all times bit telephone companies and not by the dea or the nsa. and more specifically, when you look at intelligence that we have gathered on syria, congressional members told fox news off camera, if the lions share comes from foreign sources and not the itself. >> our chief intelligence correspondent, thank you. >> you're welcome. >> thanks, catherine. >>> secretary of state john kerry is trying to convince the world that gas was used in syria and by the assad regime. but there are many countries insisting there is not enough evidence to prove the assad regime is responsible. it is one of the diplomatic hurdles the white house is trying to overcome. we know meetings are going on as president seeks authorization for congress from military action and john bolton, former u.s. ambassador and fox news co

because, you know, metadata doesn't collect -- >> right. >> -- content. >> so the american public now knows that its call detail records are obtained under fisa, but as we heard earlier, this rationale for bulk collection as the deputy attorney general said could be much broader. it dpoandz the circumstances. -- depends on the circumstances. he gave the classic lawyer's answers to what other kinds of records could you get in bulk, and he said, it depends. if we had the right protections and had the right procedures in place, maybe we could some kind of records, maybe we couldn't. >> but presently we can't. >> right. it's my contention that those major categories should be public information. now, some risk to this because major companies that provide that data you could probably surmise that they were participating. i don't think that particular companies should be identified, but this is the kind of thing that would avoid the controversy we had over call detail records. we would say, look, we told you this is the kind of data we were getting, these are the kind of protections. the se

it on has to to with overseas phone calls and that's the only reason they have this metadata they say. >> reporter: that's true. you last month the "wall street journal" noted that the nsa monitors 75% of c traffic and contained the content of e-mails written by u.s. citizens in the u.s. of course they have been split over whether control phone data is protected under the 2nd amendment. a court in new orleans ruled cell phone record are not protected because they are the property of cell phone companies and not individuals. martha: it's easy to track us now. thank you very much, we'll see you soon. bill: the more we uncover here, all the tapping that's happened so far. martha: it comes at a cost. bill: the zeroed in on the mccallums and they have the hemmers in their cross-hairs, too. critics coming down hard on president obama's mixed message. first there was a red lane, then it was someone else's red line. >> i didn't set a red line. the world set a red line. we made it clear to the assad regime and other players on the ground that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch
