One lawmaker wants to know if the National Security Agency is spying on Congress. “Has the NSA spied, or is the NSA currently spying, on members of Congress or other elected officials?” Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., asked NSA Director Keith Alexander in a letter Friday (http://1.usa.gov/1kh3NFR). He specified that spying includes metadata collected from official or personal phone calls, and content pulled from emails and websites visited. The recent revelations about NSA surveillance have uncovered “clearly unconstitutional” actions, Sanders said, saying he was disturbed to learn details of the practices and of the U.S. government’s surveillance of foreign leaders.
