The
recent news that the NSA is collecting information on Americans from
nine internet sources has brought to the forefront a confrontation
between traditional sources of information and the legal framework of
the government's right to investigate individuals.
This topic has several main issues. At the top of the list is President Obama's outrageous statement that Americans may need to give up some freedom for security from terrorism. The president has no right to decide what degree of freedom Americans can have. The freedom Americans have is defined not by any one elected official but by the Constitution.
