Rep. Ellison to Obama: ‘How Do We Know There Haven’t Been Abuses’ by the NSA?

ELLISON: “That's right, but here's the thing. See, how do we know there haven't been abuses? He said there was no intentional abuses. But you know, as a matter of fact, you know, people can take advantage, they can run data, they can do all kinds of things they're not supposed to do, and if there are not good controls on it, what we end up having is a loose situation where not only do we lose privacy, we may also even lose security. So it's important that we dig in hard and really review the proposals the president put out.”
