U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry said Friday that American spy agencies went too far in some cases, although he suggested he thinks surveillance of foreign targets has left the world a safer place. Kerry said he’s working with the President to fine-tune U.S. surveillance policy and ensure that the National Security Agency (NSA) doesn’t commit future offenses or violations.
Using talking points similar to those revealed in a recently de-classified NSA document, Kerry said, “We have actually prevented airplanes from going down, buildings from being blown up, and people from being assassinated because we’ve been able to learn ahead of time of the plans. I assure you, innocent people are not being abused in this process, but there’s an effort to try to gather information. And yes, in some cases, it has reached too far inappropriately.”
Either President Obama was aware of various levels of ‘inappropriate’ spying, on German Chancellor Angela Merkel, on the Pope, and other world leaders and should be taken to task for the offenses or he presided over an out-of-control – and expensive – espionage system with little oversight. Kerry’s suggestion? He says that Obama “is now doing a thorough review in order that nobody will have the sense of abuse,” the BBC reports. “We are going to make sure that does not happen in the future.”

The pot calling the kettle black. Look into what Bush did to the NSA. What you could say is Obama should have corrected all of the flawed practices that Bush started.
If this is their response sincerely made, than Snowden would be a hero to the people right? Let’s see them spin that one LOL? They are full of c**p…and it still bothers me to no end that the issues of the things that THEY have done never seem to be addressed at all! This makes no sense…How can broken laws and government corruption just be ignored even when completely exposed “government official so far to admit the U.S. overstepped boundaries after NSA surveillance operations were recently revealed.” OVERSTEPPED is an understatement, but regardless, the TRUTH is a violation of law and should be addressed, prosecuted, and lead to much more serious government limitation if not complete reform.
TREASON ON HIS And obamas part
