Democratic senators: Obama was 'misleading' about NSA surveillance

Two Democratic senators denounced the National Security Agency for conducting “warrantless searches of the content of Americans’ personal communications,” and, more broadly, the senior government officials — including President Obama — who were “misleading” in denying that such searches took place.

“It is now clear to the public that the list of ongoing intrusive surveillance practices by the NSA includes not only bulk collection of Americans’ phone records, but also warrantless searches of the content of Americans’ personal communications,” Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden and Colorado Sen. Mark Udall said late Tuesday.
