Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday that he is “glad” that the National Security Agency is collecting millions of telephone records — including his own — from one of the nation’s largest telecommunications companies in an attempt to combat terrorism. Mr. Graham said that he is a Verizon customer and has no problem with the company turning over records to the government if it helps it do its job. The South Carolina Republican said that people who have done nothing wrong have nothing to worry about because the NSA is mining the phone records for people with suspected ties to terrorism. “We are very much under threat. Radical Islam is on the rise throughout the region. Homegrown terrorism is one of my biggest concerns. It is happening in our own backyard, and I am glad that NSA is trying to find out what terrorists are up to overseas and inside the country,” Mr. Graham said during an appearance on “Fox and Friends.” Mr. Graham said that the NSA will paw through the information and will then monitor the telephone conversations of those its deems a threat to national security. Mr. Graham’s comments came shortly after the White House broke its silence on a news report in the Guardian, a newspaper in the United Kingdom, that said the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court granted the FBI a highly classified court order that requires that Verizon turn over on an “ongoing, daily basis” information on all telephone calls in the system to the NSA, including those calls made in the US as well as those between the U.S. and other countries. “Information of the sort described in the Guardian article has been a critical tool in protecting the nation from terrorist threats to the United States, as it allows counterterrorism personnel to discover whether known or suspected terrorists have been in contact with other persons who may be engaged in terrorist activities, particularly people located inside the United States,” the senior Obama administration official said. The court order runs from April 25 until July 19 and shows the the Obama administration has been gathering found records of millions of Verizon customers, regardless of whether or not they are suspected of wrong doing. “On its face, the order reprinted in the article does not allow the government to listen in on anyone’s telephone calls,” the senior administration official said Thursday. “The information acquired does not include the content of any communications or the name of any subscriber. It relates exclusively to metadata, such as a telephone number or the length of a call.” SEE RELATED: White House defends NSA collection of Verizon phone records; insists no eavesdropping The official said that Congress passed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and is regularly briefed on the information collected under it.

Avatar Elegance • 16 minutes ago Dear God. Please give Sen. Graham brain cancer so he has to resign from office. Save our future from the tyrannical government he is helping to install. Thank you http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jun/6/gop-sen-graham-glad-nsa-collecting-phone-records/
...said the good Nazi. What a dipstick!
There's not a dimes worth of difference between Democrats and Republicans. Yeah it's Bush's fourth term, and it'd be the same with McCain or Romney.
Karl Rove was on Fox Thursday night defending this program as well. It's shameful.
Sen. Graham is sadly, the poster child for post-Kennedy Republicans, Right-Wing, GOP, Conservatives, and Tea-Baggers.....and their brain-dead supporters. "This little faggot should get Aids and die a painful death. Traitor." Be careful what you wish for..... and "Ask not for whom the bell tolls....it tolls for thee..." From the Reagan Administration, through the CIA regime of GHWB, the GOP controlled congress of the Clinton years, and the abomination of the "duh-bya" years.... The Intelligence Community has come to complete power - thanks to the "political right's" sell out. Ask yourself, "Is there blood on my hands?" If you have the courage.......
You aren't as clever as you think. The tea party wants nothing to do with Graham. Nothing at all. Graham has much more in common with your butt boy Obama.

Ari Fleischer, President's George W. Bush's former press secretary, wrote on Twitter that Obama "is carrying out Bush's fourth term" with drone strikes, phone surveillance and Guantanamo Bay. "Just to be clear & so silent liberals understand, I support President O's anti-terror actions. They're bi-partisan now," he wrote.
