"The Guardian newspaper on Wednesday revealed a classified court order requiring Verizon Business Network Services to turn over phone records to the National Security Agency, a government security agency. The order didn’t authorize the NSA to listen in on calls. The revelation provoked a mixed response on Capitol Hill. Some lawmakers in both parties denounced the data-gathering effort and called for rewriting provisions of the Patriot Act that give the administration the legal authority to collect the records with the approval of a secretive tribunal called the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court."
