Government seizes AP's phone records (The Page article)

To be honest, I don't think that the government acted appropriately and crossed the line by seizing AP's records. It is a huge invasion of privacy, and it happened for two months. It is rumored that they seized the records over a fake terror plot story, but if the government won't admit why they did it then I don't think that it is fair. I feel like the only reason that it would be acceptable is if the AP was posing a threat, which they weren't at all.
