Report: Verizon giving records to NSA
Washington - The National Security Agency appears to be collecting the telephone records of millions of American customers of Verizon, one of the nation's largest phone companies, under a top-secret court order issued in April.
The order appears to require Verizon to provide the NSA with daily information on all telephone calls by its customers within the United States and from foreign locations into the United States.
The order, which was signed by a judge from the secret court that oversees domestic surveillance, was first reported on the website of The Guardian newspaper. The website reproduced a copy of the order, which two former U.S. officials told The Washington Post appears to be authentic.
If the document is accurate, it would represent the broadest surveillance order known ever to have been issued. It also would confirm long-standing suspicions of civil liberties advocates about the sweeping nature of U.S. surveillance through commercial carriers under laws passed after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The order falls under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which authorizes the government to make broad demands on telephone carriers for information about calls. In this case, the order requires Verizon to provide "ongoing, daily" information about "all call detail records ... created by Verizon for communications between the United States and abroad; or wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls."
The White House and the FBI, which apparently sought the order, refused to comment. A spokesman for Verizon also declined to comment.
But civil liberties groups were quick to criticize the sweeping nature of the order.
"This is a truly stunning revelation," said Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. "This suggests that the government has been compiling a comprehensive record of Americans' associations and possibly even their whereabouts."
The Center for Constitutional Rights, which has sued the government over its surveillance practices, said in a statement Wednesday night that the order "requires no level of suspicion and applies to all Verizon subscribers anywhere in the U.S. It also contains a gag order prohibiting Verizon from disclosing information about the order to anyone other than their counsel."
The order seems to confirm fears expressed by Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden of Oregon and Mark Udall of Colorado. In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder last year, they said, "We believe most Americans would be stunned to learn the details of ... these secret court opinions. As we see it, there is now a significant gap between what most Americans think the law allows and what the government secretly claims the law allows."
Government officials have defended the broad surveillance powers, saying that the information has been vital in uncovering and disrupting terrorist plots.
The court order, good for three months, requires Verizon to hand over to the NSA, the world's largest spy agency, comprehensive communications routing information, including but not limited to numbers dialed and received, length of call, and customers' name and address or financial information. The order does not tell Verizon to provide any call content information.
The "business records" order, issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, does not require a showing of probable cause to believe that the targets are agents of a foreign power. Rather, all that is required is a showing that "there are reasonable grounds to believe" that the tangible things sought are "relevant to an authorized investigation ... to obtain foreign intelligence information ... or to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities."
"Tell me how all of the metadata of Americans' domestic conversations can be relevant to an authorized foreign intelligence or international terrorism investigation," said Goitein, who was counsel to then-Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., a Senate Judiciary Committee member who left Congress in January 2011.
Feingold raised concerns about the government's secret interpretation of Section 215, a concern picked up by Wyden and Udall in recent years. These lawmakers have pressed the Justice Department and the surveillance court to release redacted versions of their opinions so that Americans can understand the full extent of the government's surveillance authorities.
The order does not specify whether location data, such as cell tower or GPS coordinates, also are being turned over. But even without such data, the NSA is still gathering massive amounts of information that can give a detailed picture of people's networks of associates, with whom they are communicating, when and for how long.
"It's the kind of networking information that can be very important in legitimate terrorism investigations but that the government has no business knowing about ordinary law-abiding Americans," Goitein said.
Privacy advocates said they believed that the NSA must be collecting such information from all the large carriers and that this practice has been going on for years.

How do you feel about a report that says Verizon is giving customers' telephone records to the National Security Agency?
This doesn't bother me at all. I feel confident the government is doing what it needs to do to protect me.
It confirms my suspicion that our civil liberties have eroded since Sept. 11.
I'm switching today to any phone carrier that's not Verizon.
I'm sure it's going on at Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile too.

Trail after a rock slide, Kangchenjunga

Trail after a rock slide, Kangchenjunga
This is the blog for Meg Noble Peterson, whose latest book is Madam, Have You Ever Really Been Happy? An Intimate Journey Through Africa and Asia, the story of her first eight-month solo backpacking trip around the world. A synopsis and excerpts from the book can be found on this website.
I began this blog, detailing my recent adventures throughout the world, in the summer of 2005 with my trip to Sweden and Norway. Scroll down to the end to begin this journey. And be sure to browse the Archives and Categories for more in-depth information with photos and stories.
In the blog I include backpacking trips to northern and southern India, Nepal, Myanmar, Ladakh, Kashmir, Sikkim, Bhutan, and Tanzania, as well as backpacking and hiking in the Pacific Northwest and the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
Here is a quick recap of trips taken before starting the blog:
In March, 2005, I traveled to Prague in the Czech Republic.
In May, 2004, I spent a month with my eldest daughter in Tibet. Together we circumambulated sacred Mt. Kailash over the Dolma La (pass) at 18,000 ft. and Lake Manasarovar at 14,000 ft. We camped in the countryside, mixed with nomads, and visited the sacred places and temples of this beleaguered country.
In May, 2003, I explored the many facets of Peru and climbed on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.
In May, 1999 I did the Wainwright Walk across England from St. Bees Head on the Irish Sea to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Sea. And in November and early December of the same year I trekked, once again, in Nepal, doing the Annapurna circuit, and going over the Thorong La (pass) at 17,500 ft.
To see the places I traveled on my previous trips, visit the map on this website.
In 1998, my eldest son, Christopher, treated the entire family to a trip to the Galapagos Islands, three years before he died. This will remain one of the high points of all my travel adventures.
