In the video below, produced by the ACLU, Stone discusses the NSA spying program, recalling a disastrous legacy of unchecked government abuse of power. He reflects on the terrible consequences of runaway surveillance during the 1960s and 1970s, when intelligence services exploited fears of external threats to the United States to enjoy a carte blanche for their illegal activities. "We did not pass the Fourth Amendment to protect those with something to hide," Stone tells us. We passed that amendment "because we know all too well the cost of an unaccountable government."
