Ray Kelly, New York Police Commissioner, hit the secret of NSA surveillance

Commissioner of police of New York Ray Kelly is slammed the Obama administration for its handling of the scandal of the national security administration - but not because they think that the Government was extending its scope too.

Conference of the upper parts of the city said that the public would have been more favorable to the idea of the NSA to spy on their electronic communications had not been keeps a secret.

"I think that the American public can accept the fact if you tell them each time lift phone will be recorded and the Government", Kelly said at an event on Monday, according to the New York Daily News. "I think that the public can understand.

Although Kelly suggested that the contents of the phone calls of Americans is being recorded, the Guardian reported this month that the Government has been collecting so-called metadata, which includes the numbers that marked a particular phone and time, location and duration of the calls, but not the contents of the talks.

Error of Obama, said Kelly, was not to be more explicit about what information from the NSA is collecting, and what internal mechanisms to draw the line.

"I think that people comfort level we can rise if actually information out as to have these controls and these protections within the NSA," he said, according to the New York Post.

Kelly came under fire in 2012 after revelations about surveillance of the police of New York and of Muslim communities.

At the time, defended police spying. "Not everyone will be happy, but our main mission, our goal is to keep this city safe and save lives," said Kelly, according to CBS in New York.
