奥巴马承诺审视NSA监控项目 或把电话数据交由运

奥巴马承诺审视NSA监控项目 或把电话数据交由运营商保存

President Obama signaled Friday that he may halt the National Security Agency’s collection and storage of millions of Americans’ phone records and instead require phone companies to hold the data.

Speaking at a White House news conference near the end of a very difficult year, Obama said that he would have a “pretty definitive statement” on proposed NSA reforms in January, following his family’s annual holiday break in Hawaii.

His remarks suggested that Obama’s views have changed significantly since details of the NSA’s far-reaching surveillance programs were publicly revealed in June. He said he believed his administration has struck the right balance between intelligence gathering and privacy protection but acknowledged that concerns about the potential for abuse may make it necessary to rein in the programs to restore public trust.

“The environment has changed,” Obama said. He said that it “matters more that people right now are concerned,” and added, “Just because we can do something doesn’t mean we necessarily should.”

During the 60-minute news conference, Obama also reiterated his claim of personal responsibility for the disastrous rollout of his health-care law. In addition, he expressed optimism that he could advance his agenda in 2014, beginning with immigration reform.

“I think 2014 needs to be a year of action,” Obama said.

The president said his NSA review, based on the assessments of intelligence officials and other officials inside and outside of the federal government, would determine which programs to maintain or eliminate, both domestically and internationally.

An independent White House panel released a report this week questioning whether the NSA’s sweeping collection of personal data had played any meaningful role in preventing terrorist attacks. A federal judge also ruled that the data collection was probably unconstitutional.

Obama acknowledged that the United States needs to provide “more confidence” to the international community amid widespread outrage over revelations of U.S. spying on many foreign allies.

“What has been more challenging is the fact that we do have a lot of laws and checks and balances and safeguards and audits when it comes to making sure that the NSA and other intelligence communities are not spying on Americans,” Obama said. “We’ve had less legal constraint in terms of what we’re doing internationally.”

He added, “In a virtual world, some of these boundaries don’t matter anymore.”

Obama defended the NSA, saying that he has seen no evidence that the agency “acted inappropriately” with the billions of call records it has assembled in a secret database, a claim that is at odds with compliance reports and other documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.

Obama all but endorsed one of the White House panel’s proposals, which would require phone companies to hold the data that the NSA has been collecting.

“It is possible that some of the same information . . . can be obtained by having private phone companies keep those records longer” and allowing the government to search them under tight guidelines, Obama said.

That prospect has drawn fire from privacy advocates and technology experts, who say it would be as bad as or worse than having the NSA hold the records. Phone companies also do not want to be the custodians of data sought by law enforcement or civil attorneys.

“Mandatory data retention is a major civil liberties problem and something that other groups would oppose categorically,” said Rainey Reitman, activism director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Currently, phone companies keep call records for periods ranging from six months to 10 years.

“Requiring by law that companies retain call records longer than they do for business reasons subjects those records to risk of theft by hackers and subpoena by state and local law enforcement and by civil litigants,” said Gregory Nojeim, senior counsel for the Center for Democracy and Technology. “Because many entities other than the NSA would gain access, it is a step backwards for privacy.”

During the news conference, Obama sought to grapple with a year of partisan turmoil in Washington and his inability to advance an ambitious second-term domestic policy agenda through Congress. Initiatives on gun violence and immigration failed or stalled in the face of Republican opposition, and the president was unable to prevent broad spending cuts known as the sequester or a partial shutdown of the federal government.

When asked whether 2013 had been the worst year of his presidency, Obama laughed off the suggestion.

“We have had ups and we have had downs,” Obama said. He added, jokingly, “I think this room has recorded at least 15 near-death experiences.”

He said that despite the disastrous rollout of the online insurance exchanges at the heart of his signature health-care law, more than 1 million people have signed up for new health-care insurance since October.

Obama also noted that statistics released Friday showed the fastest economic growth in two years and said that this month’s budget deal with Congress could be a sign of greater cooperation in Washington.

“It’s probably too early to declare an outbreak of bipartisanship, but it’s also fair to say that we are not condemned to endless gridlock,” Obama said.

Recent polls suggest that record numbers of Americans disapprove of Obama’s job performance and that his earlier advantages over Republicans in Congress have eroded in many areas. Obama dismissed the importance of the results, saying, “My polls have gone up and down a lot through the course of my career.”

Obama defended his selection of openly gay athletes to lead the U.S. delegation at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, considering Russia’s discriminatory laws.

“When it comes to the Olympics and athletic performance, we don’t make distinctions on the basis of sexual orientation,” Obama said. He added that this was “a value at the heart of not just America, but American sports.”

 

据美国《华盛顿邮报》12月21日报道,美国总统奥巴马20日暗示,他可能要求国家安全局(NSA)停止搜集、存储美国公民的电话记录,转而交由电信运营商保存这些数据。

***态度转变:“国安局需要改革”

当天,奥巴马在白宫新闻发布会上发表讲话,称夏威夷度假结束后,他将在2014年1月份就各方提出的国安局改革建议作出一份“措辞明确的声明”。

自今年6月国安局大规模监控项目被曝光以来,奥巴马对监控项目的看法发生了重大转变。奥巴马说他相信其政府在情报收集和保护隐私之间取得了平衡,但不得不承认公众的担忧不无道理,有必要进行调控以恢复公众信任。

“环境改变了,更为重要的是,现在人们很担心。”奥巴马说,“仅仅因为我们有能力做某件事情,不代表就应该做这件事情。” 奥巴马说,他将听取政府内外专业人士的评估意见,以此为基础审视国安局的监控项目。

奥巴马虽然承认国安局需要改革,但仍为其辩护说没有任何证据显示国安局“不当使用过”存储的数十亿电话数据。奥巴马同时认可白宫审查委员会提出的一项改革建议,即要求电信运营商保存国安局搜集的电话数据,“电信运营商可延长其保存用户电话数据的时限,通过这种方式保留(国安局搜集的)部分数据。有需要时,政府须在严格遵守相关法规的前提下,对电信运营商保存的数据进行搜索”。目前,美国电信公司保存用户电话数据的时长从6个月至10年不等。

***招致不满:被斥为“隐私权利倒退”

面对美国政府的改革表态,公民隐私权倡导者和科技专家并不买账,认为这是“越改越糟”。而电信运营商也不愿做“数据托管人”,不想变成执法者或民权律师的骚扰对象。

“强制数据留存是一个重要的公民自由问题,类似事件将遭到某些团体的坚决反对。”非营利国际法律组织“电子前沿基金会”负责人雷尼•赖特曼说。

美国民主与科技中心高级法律顾问格雷戈里•诺杰姆认为,通过法律形式要求电信运营商延长用户数据保存时限,将令这些数据置于遭黑客盗取或被法庭传讯的危险之中,“除了国安局之外,还会有许多实体获得访问权限,这是公民隐私权利的倒退”。

***态度乐观:“2014年是行动之年”

在这场持续一个小时的新闻发布会上,奥巴马表示对即将到来的2014年持乐观态度,相信自己能够继续推进改革议程,希望“2014年成为行动之年”。

“党派纷争不断致使奥巴马在国会推进国内政策议程受阻,甚至导致联邦政府短暂关门。”媒体认为,对于奥巴马而言,2013年是“极其艰难的一年”。当被问及是否认同这个观点时,奥巴马回答道:“的确有起有伏,但形势正在好转。”

“尽管医改法案没有博得‘开堂彩’,但自10月以来已有超过100万人注册。并且20日公布的经济数据显示,美国迎来近两年来最快的经济增长,而国会本月达成的预算协议也表明两党合作变得更加融洽。”奥巴马说,“宣布两党合作取得突破性进展或许是太早了,但公平地说,我们不会因陷入无尽的僵局而遭受谴责了。”
