"The argument that, Hey, I don't mind you listening to my phone calls, I have nothing to hide , is not an argument for this. You don't know anybody who does this for a living claiming that that's a good argument. It's a horrible argument. As Americans, we deserve that private space." - Former Director of National Intelligence (Michael Hayden): [VIDEO]
