NSA records

In an attempted to turn the tables on government agencies collecting private records of phone calls and emails, a private watchdog group has requested records by way of a law suit from the EPA. They were told that the records were erased so the group went to NSA and asked for the records. The NSA didn’t respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit, and it has rebuffed several efforts by the Competitive Enterprise Institute and others to try to see phone records that the agency likely collected and stored. This is one more example of private agencies doing the work of the press.
