Eric Holder:

As a lifelong advocate for the protection of privacy rights, I agree that government should not have the ability to intrude unreasonably on an individual's privacy. But I also understand that law enforcement must have the technical tools to keep pace with the more sophisticated criminals we now must confront. The recent wiretap change is a relatively minor adjustment to an existing statute that serves to protect privacy rather than intrude upon it.

Privacy is serious. It is serious the moment the data gets collected, not the moment it is released.

Bush:

First of all, we have said that whatever we do ... will be legal.

Josh Dugan:
