” Access the content of communications gathered from “U.S. based machine[s]” or phone numbers in order to establish if targets are located in the US, for the purposes of ceasing further surveillance.”

That is really interesting, especially in light of this paraphrase:

“Oh, no, we are not listening to conversations.” - Barak Obama.

Lie on top of lie on top of lie on top of lie......

Are we still wondering if Snowden is a hero or traitor?

Heres the kicker:

Even if upon examination a communication is found to be domestic – entirely within the US – the NSA can appeal to its director to keep what it has found if it contains “significant foreign intelligence information”, “evidence of a crime”, “technical data base information” (such as encrypted communications), or “information pertaining to a threat of serious harm to life or property”

Or James Rosen...or AP...or.
