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.

The RATS take a real risk in seeming to side with terrorists. If any plot is thwarted by these techniques while the RATS are whining they will look the fool.
How many layoffs for the NYT this year? I remember a few.
The NY Times IS the enemy.
Echelon and Carnivor have been around for a while - wow - the NY Times, always on the ball.
Hint: If you can find something in Wiki, it ain't news....

Translation: they made it up.
I agree wholeheartedly!
Dribble, dribble, dribble....when is the administration going to stop the leaking? Perhaps there is a method to their madness we aren't aware of?
As should all the MSM, Democrats, unions, Soros, etc. To treat them as simply others with differing opinions is to foolishly enable those who seek our destruction.
At some point the government can not allow the press to expose secrets to our enemies. I'm not sure what could be done seeing how we have a free press. But what are the limits? Could the NYT publish the nuclear launch codes and get away with it?
If you don't have anything to hide, you don't have anything to fear.
That post was not directed at anyone here. Just posting so that loonies like sarasmom, from her Prozac haze, don't accuse me of being bad.
My God, when will this ever stop? ? ?
Could they get away with it? We'd hang them. But I think they would try, yes. Two reminders for the NYT: Ethel and Julius. They better keep history in mind.
Absolutely!!!
I don't think the leaks are necessarily in the Bush Administration. It's probably a combination of retired (and disgruntled) former CIA types, and Democrat Congressmen, Senators and their staffs.
True, though the NYT says they are current administration officials, doesnt make it accurate. My error.
