As a technician for AT&T, Mark Klein says he helped connect a device three years ago that copied onto a government supercomputer every phone call, e-mail and Internet search made through the company's network.
[snip] President Bush denies that. "We're not mining or trolling through the personal lives of millions of innocent Americans," he said. "Our efforts are focused on links to al Qaeda and their known affiliates. The privacy of ordinary Americans is fiercely protected in all our activities."
Only one of those men can be telling the truth.

Only one of those men can be telling the truth. But I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. Copying all data? No way. Loading pen traces and email addresses into a big data wharehousing system to tie phone numbers and email addresses to terrorists? Quite possible. That lets our government know who they should be paying attention to.
