Senators blast NSA for webcam spying

Sens Ron Wyden (D-OR), Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Mark Udall (D-CO) slammed the National Security Agency after reports that its surveillance program capture images from users’ webcams.

“We are extremely troubled by today's press report that a very large number of individuals -- including law-abiding Americans -- may have had private videos of themselves and their families intercepted and stored without any suspicion of wrongdoing,” the senators said. “If this report is accurate it would show a breathtaking lack of respect for the privacy and civil liberties of law-abiding citizens.”
