Default US spooks gets poor review

A US government review has called for the reigning in of the National Security Agency.

The US legal and intelligence experts ordered by President Barack Obama to review National Security Agency practices called for a sweeping overhaul of US surveillance programmes.

The panel also called for reforms at a secret national security court and an end to bulk store age of telephone "metadata" by the spy agency.

Of course Obama does not have to obey the 308-report but failing to do so will open him up to the same sorts of allegations of constitution breaking which have dogged the US government since the extent of NSA spying was revealed by the whistleblower Edward Snowden.

The report called for "significant steps" to be taken "to protect the privacy of non-US persons", and urged better cooperation with allies to avoid the diplomatic fallout from revelations of US intelligence gathering.

"We conclude that some of the authorities that were expanded or created in the aftermath of September 11 unduly sacrifice fundamental interests in individual liberty, personal privacy, and democratic governance," it said.
