Wyden Says "Enough" to NSA

Wyden finally got a break courtesy of Edward Snowden.  Wyden knew all the dirt on the lies and constitutional abuse that the NSA was dishing out, but he couldn't come out and say so.  He is a senior member on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence so presumably he was privy to almost everything going on, but he was unable to say a thing about it publicly.  Finally Snowden blew the lid off everything and Wyden could speak frankly.

During a panel sponsored by the American Society of News Editors, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said while the information collected by the National Security Agency involves phone numbers, location and time of the call, it might also contain vital personal details, such as relationships, medical issues, religious matters or political affiliations.
"I have to believe the civil liberties of millions of Americans have been violated," Wyden said.
"I have not seen any evidence that demonstrates that the bulk collection of all of these records provides unique value," he added.

Wyden is a man of principle and truth and a defender of the constitution, rare these days.
