WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Justice Department has reined in electronic surveillance by the National Security Agency after finding the agency had improperly accessed American phone calls and e-mails.

The problems were discovered during a review of the intelligence activities, the Justice Department said in a statement Wednesday night.

The New York Times, which first reported the matter on its Web site, said the NSA had been improperly intercepting communications by Americans.

In its statement, the Justice Department said it has taken "comprehensive steps to correct the situation and bring the program into compliance."

Once corrective measures were taken, Attorney General Eric Holder sought authorization for renewing the surveillance program, officials said.

"corrective measures" lol so they promised not to do it again......stop or i'll yell stop again!

a watchdog has to be appointed (by the very government that she is supposed to monitor) to watch the bailout?

Come on Perry, quit trying to get our hopes up.

this is not about protecting previous president's reputations, this is about Obama supporting the idea that America can kidnap and torture people who are not American.

for the constitution.

I know the democrats and the republicans are basically the same party but are we really at the point where not torturing someone qualifies as brave?

the president of the status quo with no responsibility for anyone.

and we close all of the American torture camps, not just Quantanamo.

than anything jerry lewis ever came up with!

she was protecting democrats as well as the Bush administration.

Founded by Ali Shams and Kaelan Housewright, the "Domestic Partnership Initiative" is a political

measure aimed at reforming California Legal Code to provide equality to all couples

regardless of sexual orientation.

Drafted in the wake of Proposition 8's successful passage, the "Domestic Partnership Initiative" attempts

to eliminate the "marriage" issue by replacing "marriage" with "domestic partnership" within California legal

doctrine. This campaign will be a true grassroots project relying entirely on volunteers and social networks

to spread our influence in our attempts to get on the ballot.

the democrats and republicans are controlled by the same interests.

Can't have an industrial/military complex without the military!

I have a mortgage I'd like to sell you.

after the fact is hardly brave.

Impeachment is off the table.

Too bad the democrats didn't stop it years ago but Jane Harman and the rest of the democrats are beholden to the same corproate/religious masters as the republicans.

Someone should have told that to Nancy "impeachment is off the table" Pelosi.

they suffer from very little of it themselves.

unwanted, abused, and neglected babies.

"Obama met yesterday with Congressional leaders and emphatically argued against the establishment of a Truth Commission, insisting that such an inquiry would interfere with his political agenda."

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overrule long-standing law that stops police from initiating questions unless a defendant's lawyer is present, another stark example of the White House seeking to limit rather than expand rights.

The administration's action — and several others — have disappointed civil rights and civil liberties groups that expected President Barack Obama to reverse the policies of his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, after the Democrat's call for change during the 2008 campaign.

Since taking office, Obama has drawn criticism for backing the continued imprisonment of enemy combatants in Afghanistan without trial, invoking the "state secrets" privilege to avoid releasing information in lawsuits and limiting the rights of prisoners to test genetic evidence used to convict them.

The case at issue is Michigan v. Jackson, in which the Supreme Court said in 1986 that police may not initiate questioning of a defendant who has a lawyer or has asked for one, unless the attorney is present. The decision applies even to defendants who agree to talk to the authorities without their lawyers.
