Negative HCG test but still bleeding?
(10 Posts)Hello
I had a miscarriage just over three weeks ago. It was at 8-9 weeks but hadn't developed past 6weeks. The process has been very different to my first one where there was loads of flooding while products passed, this time its been a more steady bleed with quite a bit of cramping the first weekend.
The sac passed last week but I'm still having to wear pads. Got a negative hpt on Monday (Internet cheapie at 10miu). The bleeding has dropped off a little and I had two days of bright red bloody ewcm (sorry tmi) now back to light and dark brown cm again, apart from when I go to the loo and get more bright red cm.
Do you think this is normal or should I call epac? I have an appointment with the consultant at the end of March for recurrent miscarriage (had two but over 35). I had kind of hoped we could get to work again before then though.
I'm fed up with all the pads and not being able to have a bath etc
Any advice?
I recently mc at 5.5 wks, I was advised the mc could take up to 3 weeks but I may then have period stright after (I don't understand how that can happen tbh) - but basically I was told don't worry if you bleed for 4 weeks.
You can join us on the 'coop' thread in conception for 'older' ladies ttc, if you fancy a chat.
I think I would want to check everything had passed. I wonder if your GP could refer you for a scan to make sure?
Thanks for your replies
I had a scan a week after it started and it showed that the sac had gone, however I knew I hadn't passed it so that was odd. I then thought that maybe it all broke up and I was just passing little pieces. It did pass last week.
Today I passed a tiny piece of grey membrane thing and now I'm bleeding quite heavily. Maybe it will all be finished after this heavy bleeding passes? Will go back to EPAC next week if its not getting better I guess
You might have an infection. Try to get a GP appt.
Sorry for your loss
Yes, it's the risk of infection that you want to rule out.
Thanks, hasn't really thought about infection! Will probably get checked out
Ok so I may have dysfunctional uterine bleeding now. Have to make appointment to see GP to maybe get put on the pill or something.
What a saga, just want to be back to normal now
Hippo have you self diagnosed that? What's going on, are you still bleeding heavily?
I called the EPAC midwives and chatted to them. Still bleeding quite heavily (for me) its ok with the night time pads but the loo at work is up 12 flights of stairs and the lift has been broken for 6 months...it's just getting me down.

Poor play results in poor grades for Oakland Raiders
The Oakland Raiders played arguably their worst game of the season Sunday in the 34-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The game might have been relatively close, but the stats don't back up the score line.
Quarterbacks- It was a bad day for Carson Palmer, which should have been expected given how well he's played this season. It's tough to carry an offense, but that is the task given to Palmer this season and he failed miserably Sunday. C-
Running Backs- Let's give credit where it is due and acknowledge how well Marcel Reece played as the starting running back. He ran for about five yards per carry, which is about what you can ask him to do especially as a natural fullback. B
Wide Receivers- This group had four catches total Sunday, not acceptable for any team in the NFL. To make matters worse, Darius Heyward-Bey and Denarius Moore combined for one catch, unfathomable for a team's top-two wideouts. F
Offensive Line- Palmer tasted the turf way too much as the offensive line gave up four sacks. The running game was solid, but this is a pass-based offense. C
Defensive Line- The Bengals ran over this defense like it wasn't there. The defensive line got two sacks, but it couldn't stop a running game which is average at best. D
Linebackers- It's tough to judge this unit because there were a lot of tackles for the linebackers. At the same time, it needs to limit the running game a lot more than it did. C
Secondary- This grade was more based on the fact A.J. Green had 111 yards on three catches and Mohamed Sanu made the incredible one-handed touchdown catch. The secondary limited the amount of passing yards, but not the big plays. D
Special Teams- No special teams miscues and Sebastian Janikowski hit a 55-yard field goal. Shane Lechler had another great day punting, so you can't complain much. A-

The pain from breaking up in a committed Relationship vs breakup of a Divorce
in Music
Sunday - is the pain from breaking up in a committed relationship vs the breakup of a divorce?
This show is to discuss the level of commitment between two people who claim they love each other and want happens when the love goes awry. As someone who believes in living happy and healthy, I understand sometimes we have not vetted our spouses or loved ones in depth, and breakup is the only answer.
In Living with a person Is the respect different in the relationship?
Does family matter, ie having children?
What is the responsibility of the husband to the wife?
What about companionship? If you choose a life companion how does the strengthen differ from that of a marriage relationship.
What about the spiritual factor, does it matter if the couple is churched or unchurched?
Harmony in the relationship is key.
If you are married, are you with me because we are married or are you with me because you want to be with me? That is the guy's thought said one interviewee.
What are your deal breakers?
What is your unacceptable list?

Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston, where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited. Request your personal invitation here! SmartGridView is marketing itself as a service that brings together experts to discuss intelligent power grids, and packages that knowledge for the rest of the world to see. But the attendees at the GreenBeat 2010 conference in Palo Alto, Calif. weren't quite sure what the company actually did. The actual knowledge base uses a flash interface to visualize the information in a "view" customized for each individual, said SmartGridView founder Larry Wilson.. The views are essentially concept maps that bring together a number of topics that users can quickly access and get information from cleantech industry leaders. The actual product is a desktop application that produces reports and simplifies the immense amount of information on the Internet and across the entire cleantech industry for everyday consumers and industry leaders, he said. "We're glad there was a none-of-the-above option when we applied," Wilson said. "We basically offer some beefed up concept maps so we can influence the influencers." But that wasn't necessarily a clear explanation for what they do — even one of the judges was compelled to ask what kind of service SmartGridView was actually offering to potential cleantech consumers. SmartGridView is one of ten companies selected to participate int he Innovation Competition at GreenBeat 2010. VentureBeat's VB Insight team is studying marketing analytics... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

Does Politics Matter in the Conduct of Fiscal Policy? Political Determinants of the Fiscal Sustainability: Evidence from Seven Individual Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC)
This paper aims at assessing the fiscal sustainability and its political determinants in seven Central and Eastern European Countries (CEEC), namely Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. First, using the recent sustainability approach of Bohn (1998) based on fiscal reaction function, econometric findings using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) reveal a positive response of the primary surplus to changes in debt in several countries. In other words, fiscal policy is sustainable in Baltic countries, Slovenia and Slovakia, but not in Poland and in the Czech Republic. Second, by introducing political dummy variables, we test the electoral budget cycle and the partisan cycle theories. We find the presence of electoral and partisan cycle in Poland but not in the rest of our countries.

Seconds often make the difference between life and death and new technology makes the difference…
Hashem said to Moshe, "Write this for a memorial in a book, and recite it in the ears of Yehoshua; for I will completely erase the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven" (Shemos 17:14).
For most of our history, the struggle between the Jewish people and Amalek was seen as an external one, pitting the world's first (and for many centuries, only) monotheistic nation against one that vehemently and spitefully rejected our core values and beliefs.
Recent history, however, has told a different story. Over the past few centuries, our struggle with Amalek has become increasingly internalized within the psyche of our people, manifesting itself in the form of secularism and antipathy toward religion.
Jewish secularism has taken on a variety of forms. Some Jews have chosen to embrace only the cultural aspects of their heritage, expressing an identity based on shared values and historical experiences, while preserving their strong desire for an unfettered, humanistic lifestyle.
Secular Humanistic Jews understand Judaism as the human-centered history, culture, civilization, ethical values, and shared experience of the Jewish people. For us, the message of Jewish history is that we have the power and the responsibility to take control of our own lives. [Mission statement of the International Federation of Secularist Humanistic Jews]
Others, however, have acted more forcefully in their fight against God and their religious tradition. In his biographical study of Sigmund Freud, Yale historian Peter Gay explained that "it was as a particular kind of atheist, a Jewish atheist [italics mine], that Freud was enabled to make his momentous discoveries" (A Godless Jew: Freud, Atheism, and the Making of Psychoanalysis, Yale University Press, 1989).
Gay's identification of Freud as a uniquely "Jewish" atheist deserves attention. In what sense might a person's Jewish heritage impact on his decision to choose a course of non-belief? Further, in what sense does "Jewish" atheism differ from traditional atheism, to the point where it can be credited with somehow impacting Freud in his professional work?
I believe the answer to these questions lies in the fact that no other atheist has more cause to experience such immense inner tension over renouncing his heritage as does one with Jewish lineage. For the Jew, belief in God is normal and expected, the basis of our identity and our unique place in history. To challenge God's existence is to be at odds with one's deeper sense of self and our national odyssey.
Freud was not simply a non-believer. He was an aggressive atheist, with, in his own words, an "absolutely negative attitude toward religion, in every form and dilution." Freud branded religion "an illusion" and made repeated reference to his own lack of faith, as evidenced by his rhetorical question to the Swiss psychoanalyst and pastor Oskar Pfister, "Why did none of the devout create psychoanalysis? Why did one have to wait for a completely Godless Jew?"
Freud posited that it was psychological motives (particularly the feeling of helplessness regarding one's surroundings) rather than firm spiritual convictions that formed the basis of religious impulses. He saw his mission to "awaken the world from the enchantment in which the magicians and priests had held it imprisoned since pagan antiquity."
Freud's anti-Jewish antagonism was so great that in his final work, Moses and Monotheism, published in 1939 on the eve of his death, he suggested that Moshe was not in fact a Jew but an Egyptian prince who rescued the Jews from Egypt and whom they subsequently killed. To Freud, the work was by no means a literary afterthought, an ancillary addendum to his great career. To the contrary – he was thoroughly obsessed with its publication. "Moses will not let go of my imagination. [He] torments me like an unlaid ghost." (Dual Allegiance: Freud As a Modern Jew, Moshe Gresser, SUNY Press, 1984.)
The fact that Freud grappled with such a topic, and espoused such a twisted theory with no factual basis, is perplexing. Why publish an offensive book that flies in the face of everything sacred to the Jewish people at a time when Nazi militarism had engulfed Germany and Austria and threatened the safety of his Jewish brethren, as well as the peace of the entire European continent? In his final days, Freud was still trying to quell his irrepressible Jewish spirit that yearned to break free and find religious expression. Nobody talks so constantly about God as a person who insists He does not exist. It was an unending struggle, one Freud could never overcome no matter how hard he tried.
Jews who choose the path of secularist atheism, such as three of the most influential men in recent history – Freud, Karl Marx and Albert Einstein – often turn viciously anti-Jewish in the process. In the venomous words of Marx:
Money is the jealous god of Israel, besides which no other god may exist. Money abases all the gods of mankind and changes them into commodities. Money is the self-sufficient value of all things. It has, therefore, deprived the whole world, both the human world and nature, of their own proper value. Money is the alienated essence of man's work and existence: this essence dominates him and he worships it. The god of the Jews has been secularized and become the god of this world. ["On the Jewish Question," 1844]
Others, like Einstein, hung their hat of disbelief on their claim that religion and its spiritual conceptions are completely incomprehensible concepts unsuited for rational, modern man:
I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension. Such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls. [The World As I See It, Philosophical Library, 1949]
Though Einstein was capable of comprehending many of the immense complexities of quantum science, he was unable to grasp signs of the divine, something within the capabilities of even the youngest child.
These Jews – and countless others like them – understood their accomplishments to have been possible only due to the intellectual and moral freedoms of modernity. In truth, however, the negative view they held of their Jewish tradition greatly restricted the potential gains of their personal genius.
Of course, the battle between Jewish values and those espoused by Amalek does not only manifest itself in such stark terms. We all struggle in some way to properly identify the significant role Hashem plays in our lives, and to ascribe adequate credit for all He does on our behalf.
Rav Chaim Friedlander, zt"l (Sifsei Chaim, Vol. 2, p. 171-172) writes that before we can eliminate any form of external Amalek, we must first attempt to identify and remove any vestiges of that nation from within our own selves. To the extent we see matters in our personal lives as happenstance or the consequence of purely natural events, we are guilty of harboring a piece of Amalek within our own hearts. And if we go so far as to downplay valid attempts to infuse the world with additional holiness, we are removing any possibility of truly fulfilling this vital mandate.
It is impossible for us today to properly fulfill the mitzvah of physically destroying Amalek. We are, however, required to attempt to destroy its memory, the intellectual and emotional Amalek that affects us all. In so doing, we will bring Hashem's throne that much closer to its completed state, and take meaningful steps toward fulfilling Zechariah's prophecy: "Hashem shall be king over all the earth; on that day the Hashem shall be one and his name one."

It features all required elements for thorough antivirus scanning and effective cleaning: it scans your system's memory, all files, folders and drives' boot sectors, providing you with the option to automatically clean the infected files. That's it - you read it right, finally an online solution that can actually clean the malware from your computer without you paying for the service.
This Internet Explorer only antivirus scanner, installs via a typical ActiveX control and I must say that I really liked the user interface. As you can see from the screenshots, the application doesn't run from a typical web browser window - it sports a native Windows application GUI.
By default, your entire computer will be checked for viruses and other threats. To scan specific folders, just enter the settings menu and chose them.
I mentioned earlier that by default, BitDefender will try to clean the infected files it finds. If in any case the disinfection fails, the infected files will be deleted without prompt. Good thing is that you can change this behaviour via the settings menu.
Planning for the Internet of Things
As organizations plan for the future, and how security has to operate within their business, they now have to worry about the IoT. Geoff Webb, Director of Solution Strategy at NetIQ, discusses the implications and likely impact of the Internet of Things.
German intelligence agency helped NSA spy on EU companies
Among the targets were European companies EADS (the manufacturer of Airbus planes) and Eurocopter, and European politicians, including German and French ones.
Banking botnets persist despite takedowns
More than 90 percent of all Trojans targeted financial institutions located in US, followed by the UK, Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia.
How attackers exploit end-users' psychology
Last year was the year attackers went corporate," exploiting middle management overload of information sharing, and trading off attack volume for sophistication.
How can organizations adapt to the rise in data breaches?
Theres more money currently dedicated to stopping data breaches than ever before; however, this money isnt always being sent in the right direction to truly put a stop to the problem

Harsher punishment for those who willingly poison children. Age should be 18 and
enforcement made easier and sure with mandatory penalties.
Grew up with
smoke and have never, ever gone back to visit those parents who poisoned me for
the sake of their addiction. Their cigarettes were more important than the
health of all of us kids.

It is dangerous to force drivers, especially those with kids aboard, to go Cold
Turkey. Withdrawal causes distraction, decreased alertness, irritation (road
rage?) and sleepiness.
Civil rights are endangered by this added excuse
for police, with "probable cause", to stop and search those with
something else in their mouths.
Young people must carry ID to prove they
are old enough to survive Environmental Tobacco Smoke. If the law is based on
"tobacco" language, note that any number of brands may contain zero
tobacco, and that plain tobacco itself does not seem to have been studied yet to
justify bans. "Studies" routinely fail to qualify "tobacco".
Could be fake tobacco or pesticide-contaminated tobacco for all we know.
Has even one child been diagnosed as harmed by "ETS" to justify the
law? If there was, we'd surely have a "Billy's (or
Becky's…) Law".
Why do legislators permit child-damaging
industrial chemicals in cigarettes, and without any specific warning? Money
reasons, perhaps?
Officials blame and prosecute the victims but ignore
and protect the perpetrators of a multi-decade crime of mass poisoning and mass
experimentation without informed consent.
Search up "Fauxbacco"

I sent the following letter to our state senator regarding this bill:
I am the director of the North Ogden Intermountain Instacare, a practicing
family physician. I am well aware of the dangers of second-hand smoke exposure
to children.
However, I urge you to VOTE AGAINST HB 13. Everyone
agrees on the health risks of smoking. This bill is not about the health
risk--it is about whether we can rightfully legislate healthy behavior. If we
can legislate against smoking in private vehicles, what prevents us from
legislating against trampolines, football, junk food, or use of sugary drinks,
all known to be harmful to kids? We allow vaccine exemptions, which cause
collective harm in the form of outbreaks of infectious disease--can we begin to
prosecute parents who refuse vaccination? There are a multitude of issues that
may use HB 13 as a precedent in eroding personal freedom.
I urge you
to allow us to use education, persuasion, and every other method to try to stop
childhood tobacco exposure, without resorting to use of governmental
Voting against HB 13 is not a vote in favor of
tobacco use--it is a vote for limited government and personal responsbility.

Purpose: Matrix metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9 are implicated in invasion and metastasis of malignant tumors. We investigated the expression and activation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in lung cancer compared with normal lung parenchyma, and looked for a potential marker of malignancy. Methods: Thirty-six pulmonary carcinomas and paired normal lung specimens were analyzed by gelatin zymography and computer-assisted image analysis for the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9. Results: We showed that expression of both type IV collagenases was remarkably higher in carcinoma samples than in lung parenchyma. The MMP-9 levels in lung cancer were over twofold higher than in normal lung tissues. The levels of latent and active forms of MMP-2 in lung cancer samples were, correspondingly, 3.8- and 17-fold higher than in lung parenchyma. The tumor/normal (T/N) ratios of MMP-2 were negatively correlated with the hemoglobin levels and erythrocytes number. Conclusions: A high level of the active form of MMP-2 in almost all of the carcinomas and the near lack of its activation in normal lung parenchyma shows that MMP-2 activation is associated with the malignant phenotype and may serve as a good marker of malignancy. The correlation between low hemoglobin level and T/N ratio of MMP-2 may indicate significance of MMP-2 for angiogenesis.

Middle EastGaza under fire despite truce call Israel continues Gaza assault after rejecting UN demands for an "immediate ceasefire". 10 Jan 2009 10:25 GMT Air raids and clashes were reported across the Gaza Strip despite a UN resolution [AFP] In a telephone call to Olmert, Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general,"expressed disappointment that the violence is continuing on the ground in disregard" of the Security Council resolution. The Israeli army said that 30 rockets were fired into southern Israel on Friday morning, injuring one person. Four rockets hit Beersheba, a town about 40km from the Israeli-Gaza border.Fierce fightingMore than 50 air raids were reported to have hit across the Gaza Strip on Friday as the death passed 800 Palestinians over the 14 days of the Israeli assault. More than 250 Palestinian children and nearly 60 women are among the dead, according to the UN.Among the buildings hit was an eight-storey building in Gaza City housing the offices of a number of news outlets. IN DEPTH Latest news and analysis from Gaza and Israel Al Jazeera Labs: Report on and track the war Send us your views and eyewitness videos Watch our coverage of the war on Gaza Tanks also shelled targets in Jabaliya and Beit Lahiya in the north and in the Zeitun neighbourhood of Gaza City, witnesses said."In the outskirts of the eastern Jabaliya area there have been Israeli ground forces operating and they have been clashing quite intensely with Palestinian fighters," Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros, reporting from Gaza City, said."Those calls for a ceasefire from the United Nations are obviously not manifesting themselves on the ground here."Raafat Morra, a Hamas official in Beirut, said the Palestinian group also rejected the UN resolution, as "it is not in the best interest of the Palestinian people".A senior delegation from Hamas was travelling to Cairo for talks expected on Saturday on an alternative ceasefire plan that calls for an immediate halt to violence and subsequent talks on securing Gaza's border and reopening the border crossings. Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera's senior political analyst, said: "The failure of the UN security council resolution to institute a ceasefire on the ground is throwing the ball back in the Egyptian court. "I think there will be intensifed efforts. Unfortunately the gap between Hamas and Israel is too big and Hamas would not accept any serious efforts at calming the situation as long as Israeli tanks are in the populated areas of the Gaza Strip." Ceasefire resolution The UN resolution, which was backed by 14 nations on the 15-member body, with only the US abstaining, called for an "immediate, durable and fully respected" ceasefire. It also said border crossings into Gaza should be re-opened and measures put in place to prevent the smuggling of weapons into the Gaza Strip. The resolution underlined there should be "unimpeded provision" and distribution of aid into the territory, where Gazans have been starved of fuel, food and medical supplies for months following Israel's crippling blockade.Mark Regev, an Israeli government spokesman, told Al Jazeera the military operation would continue to target "the Hamas military apparatus". "We want Hamas leaders to understand that when they shoot rockets into Israel trying to kill our civilians that is counterproductive to their most basic interests," he said. Regev said that Israel had not rejected the UN resolution and wanted to see "a sustained, durable ceasefire in the south". "Does anyone really expect that when Hamas says 'this does not concern us' and continues to shoot at Israel we will just hold our hands behind our backs and say 'yes, please, target our citizens and try to kill our people, we'll do nothing," he said. Thirteen Israelis have been killed since the beginning of the offensive, three by continued Palestinian rocket fire into Israel.Aid to resume Meanwhile, UN aid workers were set to resume humanitarian activities, suspended after a UN convoy came under fire from Israeli forces. Israeli artillery shells hit targets in Jabalia and Beit Lahiya [AFP] "The UN received credible assurances [from Israel] that the security of UN personnel, installations and humanitarian operations would be fully respected," Michele Montas, a UN spokeswoman, said. On Thursday, a contract worker was killed when a Unwra aid convoy came under Israeli fire during a three-hour armistice agreed by the Israelis in order to deliver essential supplies to Gaza residents. "The need on the ground is dire," Nancy Ronan, a spokeswoman for the UN's World Food Programme, told the AFP news agency at Egypt's Rafah border crossing earlier. "We got food into Gaza, but we now have a problem distributing it because of the security situation."The UN also said on Friday that 30 Palestinians were killed in Gaza on January 4 after the Israeli army moved dozens of civilians to a building which troops later shelled. A special report by the UN's Office for the Co-ordinator of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said 110 Gazans were transferred to the house and that the Israeli army were investigating the incident.

The National Security Agency reported its own violations of surveillance rules to a U.S. intelligence court and promised additional safety measures to prevent similar missteps over and over again, according to more than 1,000 pages of newly declassified files about the federal government's controversial program of collecting every American's phone records during the past seven years.
According to court records from 2009, after repeated assurances the NSA would obey the court's rules, it acknowledged that it had collected material improperly. In one instance, the government said its violations were caused by "poor management, lack of involvement by compliance officials and lack of internal verification procedures, not by bad faith." In another case, the NSA said it improperly collected information due to a typographical error.
The intelligence court judge, U.S. District Judge John D. Bates, said in the 2009 case that since the government had repeatedly offered so many assurances despite the problems continuing, "those responsible for conducting oversight at the NSA had failed to do so effectively." Bates called his conclusion "the most charitable interpretation possible."
The Obama administration published the heavily censored files Monday night as part of an ongoing civil liberties lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the government's collection of phone records, which the White House has said is important to countering terrorism. The files published Monday night were so heavily censored that one of the two justifications for the government to search through Americans' phone records was blacked out.
The latest release reflects the administration's strenuous efforts to maintain its legal authority to collect Americans' phone records amid opposition on Capitol Hill.
Meanwhile, in a legal victory for the administration, the Supreme Court on Monday refused to intervene in the NSA controversy. It rejected a call from a privacy group to stop the agency from collecting the telephone records of millions of Verizon customers in the United States. While the justices on Monday declined to get involved in this issue, other lawsuits on the topic are making their way through the lower courts around the country.
In the new disclosures, some files were declassified ostensibly to show that even when NSA employees collected records improperly or improperly shared material among themselves, those problems were reported to the intelligence court and new procedures were put in place to prevent them from happening again.
Similar documents about the U.S. collecting phone records were previously declassified and published in response to a lawsuit filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the Obama administration has revealed others to convince Congress to allow it to continue collecting the phone records.
After the NSA began the bulk collection program in 2006, one NSA inspector general's report said rules already in place were "adequate" and "in several aspects exceed the terms" of what the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court had required. But it recommended three additional practices be formally adopted. These included such obvious ideas as not allowing analysts who searched phone records in the terror database also to approve which numbers can be searched, and periodically checking the phone numbers that analysts searched to make sure they had actually been approved.
Despite the assurances in 2006 that rules were adequate, problems surfaced in 2009 that were so serious that the intelligence court temporarily shut down the surveillance program.
One of the newly disclosed files was a slap — intentionally or otherwise — at Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee who is leading the fight on Capitol Hill to reign in the government's phone records collection. In a ruling to justify the program by the then-chief judge of the intelligence court, Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, she quoted a 2001 floor speech by Leahy to explain that Congress believed that phone records could be collected under U.S. laws.
Leahy has proposed ending the NSA's sweep of phone records, allowing the government to seek only records related to ongoing terror investigations.
The documents included training materials for NSA analysts, who were warned that they should only search the database of all phone records for numbers they suspected were associated with terrorists: "Analysts are NOT free to use a telephone selector based on a hunch or guess," according to a 2007 training presentation. It added that the NSA's legal standard for picking a phone number for a terror suspect required "some minimal level of objective justification."
The training slides noted that the government shouldn't snoop on the phone records of Americans whose only suspicious behaviors were protected by the First Amendment, such as speaking or writing in opposition to the U.S. government, worshipping at a mosque or working as a journalist.
"A telephone selector believed to be used by a U.S. person shall not be regarded as associated with (censored) solely on the basis of activities protected by the First Amendment," it said.
The administration has been under pressure to reveal more details about the government's domestic surveillance program since a former intelligence contractor, Edward Snowden, released documents showing massive trawling of domestic data by the National Security Agency.
