Schakowsky continued: and I am certain that you’re not talking about them as not patriots. The two individuals who wrote, one republican and one democrat, who wrote the USA Patriot Act shortly after 9/11, have now introduced the USA Freedom Act that essentially would repeal many of the aspects and change them, (of the Patriot Act).

Schakowsky continued: eavesdropping on leaders of American allies. The Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee raised a question that I think is legitimate. An issue that is legitimate. Why did we not know that heads of state were being eavesdropped on, spied on? The reason why it's important is because it is a policy issue that has very broad implications. It could put the United States (in a difficult position.)

Schakowsky: I understand that sources, methods, all of those things. But we are the Intelligence Committee.

Schakowsky: Currently the nsa is holding for five years. the business record data many people suggested it's too long. what do you think about shortening the time whether nsa or some other entity hold it? Alexander: Our analysts think somewhere around three years is probably the least that you could do. and so if we did that, it goes back to what congressman said, i think three years makes sense that's what our analysts come up with.
