Out of Control
“The conclusion that most Americans have reached is that these guys are out of control,” Sen. Bernie Sanders said on Monday of the U.S. National Security Agency. The senator was commenting on continuing revelations that electronic spying tactics were used to track telephone conversations of some 35 foreign heads of state. Interviewed by NPR’s John Hockenberry for The Takeaway, Sanders worried about the fallout. “In an increasingly tight global community — where we have got to work together to combat terrorism, to do something about the serious problems facing the global economy, where we must address the planetary crisis of global warming — how are we going to have the kind of cooperation that we need when there is massive mistrust against the United States for this type of spying?”
