U.S. President Barack Obama has reiterated its tough stance in the fight against leaks in the government. For the wiretap in the AP news agency, he does not apologize.
Obama was responding to spying on journalists from the American news agency AP by the Justice Department. The action had caused an outcry. He was not, however, elaborate on the case. Obama justified this by saying that there was a criminal investigation.
Basically it is a matter of finding a balance between freedom of the press and national security.
The Justice Department had justified the collection of phone data from AP reporters with the vague, reference to threats to national security. The AP reported that back.
The agency had complained that the authority had secretly procured the connection data of more than 20 ports of the media company and its journalists. There were dealing with call lists from a two-month period in early 2012.
Thwarted terrorist attack
I like the AP said in a release that wiretaps are probably in connection with investigations of wrongful disclosure of information about a foiled terrorist attack, the AP reported in July 2012. It details were revealed about a CIA operation in Yemen, with the 2012 Al-Qaeda plans for a bomb attack had been thwarted on a plane on the way to the U.S. in the spring.
Obama is not only in distress because of this attack on the sacred freedom of the press in the United States. The conservative politician spying by the tax authority and the affair of the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, where was killed in a terrorist attack, the U.S. ambassador killed Obama to make a target of Republicans.
