NSA's Verizon Spying Order Specifically Targeted Americans, Not Foreigners

Forbes, via Ace

quote:
In a top secret order obtained by the Guardian newspaper and published Wednesday evening...Aside from the sheer scope of that surveillance order, reminiscent of the warrantless wiretapping scandal under the Bush administration, the other shocking aspect of the order its target: The order specifically states that only data regarding calls originating in America are to be handed over, not those between foreigners.
comment:

Those who condemned Bush for warrantless wiretapping have managed to make Bush look like an amateur.

Nice job.  /snark
