Medine: All in favor say Aye. Panel: Aye Medine: the vote is unanimous. Emanuel: A bipartisan Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board has voted to adopt a report in support of some of the NSA’s internet surveillance programs. Medine: Overall the board has found that the information the program collects has been valuable and effective in protecting the national security and producing valuable foreign intelligence information. Emanuel: The board concludes that PRISM gathering digital information from internet companies is clearly authorized by statute allowing collection as currently implemented. The core of the 702 program acquiring communications of targeted foreigners outside the U.S. fits the fourth amendment, and the group says it is troubled by the unknown and potentially large scope of the incidental collection of U.S. persons' communications, although members of the panel tried to offer some context. Brand: This is not a bulk collection program or dragnet. I don't think we can stress that often enough because it has been such a common misconception.
