(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 4 - Seven years after the revelations of former National Security Agency (NSA) agent Edward Snowden on the mass surveillance of American phone calls, a US appeals court recognized that this program was illegal and that American intelligence did not tell the truth when they defended it publicly. The Guardian writes it. The judges ruled that the warrantless wiretaps that secretly collected millions of phone calls violated the ForeignIntelligence Surveillance Act and may have been unconstitutional.


    "I never imagined that I would live to see our courts condemn the activities of the NSA as illegality in the same sentence being given credit for revealing," Snowden himself commented on Twitter.
