The Reuters story linked HERE is very interesting. It is entirely specualtion and accusation. The article lacks anything resembling facts or evidence aside from an unknown source providing allegorical and unsworn testimony.
The real story is that there is not "spying" per se. In fact all that is done is a collection of numbers making calls to other numbers irrespective of who it is. The numbers are then fed in to a data mining system which cross references that with known numbers used by terrorists so that the authorities can find out who the terrorists are speaking with and colluding with. It does not and cannot work in the reverse. This project was already sanctioned by the U.S. Supreme Court during the Clinton administration and is nothing new except as an attack on the current administration (why thats necessary is beyond me since Bush cannnot serve another term).
There are no conversations archived, the NSA doesn't care what you talk to your grandmother about, nor does it care about your business transactions that you carry out over the phone. Grow up and don't believe everything you read in the national and international papers.
k thx bye
