GOP presidential candidate Rand Paul has called for limiting the NSA’s powers even more after it emerged that the spy agency has been snooping on members of Congress.
“I’m appalled by it, and this is exactly why we need more NSA reform, and the debate in Washington now has unfortunately been going the other way.” the Senator urged, appearing on Fox News.
“Since the San Bernardino shooting everyone is saying ‘oh we need more surveillance of Americans.” Paul added.
“In reality what we need is more targeted surveillance.” Paul declared.
“I’m not against surveillance, but I am against indiscriminate surveillance, and also this is not unusual,” Paul added, explaining that the NSA has long been trawling the communications of Americans when listening to foreign ‘targets’.
It emerged yesterday that the Obama administration took the decision to eavesdrop on foreign dignitaries, while the president declared that surveillance programs were being curtailed.
