Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has been a vocal critic of the NSA's sweeping surveillance of phone and internet records since the first round of leaks about the secret programs occurred last summer. But today, Leahy unleashed his most blistering assessment of the NSA, saying in a statement, "I am particularly concerned that the NSA has strayed and overreached beyond its core missions," and adding: "one important step toward rebuilding that trust would be for the NSA to spend less of its time collecting data on innocent Americans, and more on keeping our nation’s secrets safe and holding its own accountable."
