Stronger, Not Weaker, Surveillance Standards Needed - CDT called for stronger standards to protect the privacy of Americans in written testimony submitted today to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Responding to the Bush Administration's calls for broader authority to conduct warrantless surveillance of citizens' calls, CDT argued that changes in technology and the global economy have made it easier, not harder, for the government to conduct surveillance on ordinary Americans. The committee is slated to hear testimony from government officials seeking expanded surveillance powers. May 01, 2007
