| NYT: NSA Spying Broader Than Bush Admitted NEW YORK - The National Security Agency has conducted much broader surveillance of e-mails and phone calls — without court orders — than the Bush administration has acknowledged, The New York Times reported on its Web site. The NSA, with help from American telecommunications companies, obtained access to streams of domestic and international communications, said the Times in the report late Friday, citing unidentified current and former government officials. ... But the Times said that NSA technicians have combed through large volumes of phone and Internet traffic in search of patterns that might lead to terrorists. The volume of information harvested from telecommunications data and voice networks, Does this require a warrant? Seems more like a 'stakeout'? without court-approved warrants, is much larger than the White House has acknowledged, the paper said, quoting an unnamed official can't anybody keep their mouth shut?. The story quoted a former technology manager who should soon take up residence at a federal penitentiary at a major telecommunications firm as saying that companies have been storing information on calling patterns since the Sept. 11 attacks, and giving it to the federal government. Neither the manager nor the company he worked for was identified. |

| #1 Classic NYT, well classic for the last 5 years, anyway. Original bogus ancient (held for publication, doncha know) "news story" not working, so ramp it up and provide some more unnamed sources and the not very subtle suggestion, but no proof as per usual, of sinister acts, effects, and conspiracies. So much spaghetti thrown at the frdge door over the last 5 years, so little sticking. Must really suck to believe in your agenda to the point of destroying the credibility of the Old Grey Lady and, yet, failing to succeed. Pich, Old Boy, you and your minions are well and truly screwed. Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of Kool Aid addled Moonbat morons. I think BA's Classic bit about Papa John's appropriately and effortlessly decimates the mega-resources expended by the NYT on this one, ROFL. |
