(NaturalNews) Two former high-ranking officials at the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), a federal bureaucracy that collects data and intelligence on foreign communications for national security purposes, have come forward with allegations that the NSA actively monitors Americans as well. According to testimonies from both Thomas Drake, a former NSA senior official, and Kirk Wiebe, a former NSA senior analyst, the agency actively monitors and collects intelligence on every single American as part of a massive spying operation.
RT.com first broke the story after Drake and Wiebe, on two recent but separate occasions, disclosed inside information about the NSA's spying activities to reporters. During a recent interview with Eliot Spitzer, host of Current TV's "Viewpoint" program, Drake explained how the 9/11 terrorist attacks were a catalyst for redefining America as a "foreign nation" in order to legitimize unwarranted surveillance of innocent Americans -- and he says this backdoor spying program continues to this day.
