Feinstein WSJ op-ed:
The NSA call-records program is working and contributing to our safety. It is legal and it is subject to strict oversight and thorough judicial review.
I believe we should increase the program’s transparency and its privacy protections. Toward that end, the Senate Intelligence Committee will soon consider a bill to make improvements to these counterterrorism programs. The proposed legislation will, for example, require court review when the call records are queried, and mandate a series of limitations on how the records can be obtained, stored and used.
But we must also learn the lesson of 9/11. If we end this vital program, we only make our nation more vulnerable to another devastating terrorist attack.
