YOUR WONDERFUL
AND INDISPENSABLE WORK: I am in full support of RSN and have found it immensely
helpful in keeping abreast of our body politic from a perspective which is not
driven by money but by the appeal to truth and accountability among all the
institutions of our government as well as among all of us who are citizens of
this country and world. I have sent what is for me a significant contribution to
you. RSN at the end of this calendar year. I hope that your cause will not only
survive but thrive in the months and years ahead, because I for one am fully
convinced that we as citizens need what you provide. Thank you. / Donovan L.,
Ph. D.

Spencer Ackerman, Guardian UK
Ackerman writes: "The architects of the USA Freedom Act, a bill that seeks to stop the NSA's bulk collection of Americans' phone records, have agreed to grant the surveillance giant temporary abilities to continue monitoring foreign targets who enter the US while agents seek domestic warrants; and to permit the agency to do the same for domestic targets for whom it has a probable-cause warrant who subsequently travel overseas."
