"....the NSA has been collecting the telephone records of millions of U.S. customers of Verizon under a top secret court order.

The order requires Verizon, one of the nation's largest telecommunications companies, on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the U.S. and between the U.S. and other countries. "

It has been official for quite a few years, but it was kept secret. I wonder if Verizon will lose many accounts now that it has been outed.

Well that makes a lot of sense, because everyone knows terrorists only use Verizon phones. Seriously, how could anyone believe that they are not monitoring all cell phone traffic from every provider? What do you think they built this for? http://www.examiner.com/article/nsa...acility-can-process-yottabytes-of-information

“Everybody is a target; everybody with communication is a target,” remarks another source close to the Utah project.

I saw on the news this morning there is another project called prism(sp) for monitoring internet traffic. I wonder how the Brits find out about this stuff before we do?

I read about that yesterday and just had to laugh. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-denies-giving-government-direct-000616461.html

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Major tech companies including Apple Inc, Google and Facebook Inc on Thursday said they do not provide any government agency with "direct access" to their servers, contradicting a Washington Post report that they have granted such access under a classified data collection program.

"We have never heard of PRISM," said Apple spokesman Steve Dowling.

If it's s secret program, then obviously they are going to deny that they have ever heard of it.
