From what I've read, it comes back to a specific captured terrorist cell phone. I posted this earlier. They have a listing of phone numbers called from that cell phone. Any call coming in from overseas from one of those numbers was monitored.

Perhaps I should have....used something other than "known terrorists". I'll say associate of a known terrorist.

I would like to believe that is true, but can't really know, as I don't have the clearance any more, and even if I did, would not fall under my "need to know"

Which is why I think that the Congress and courts should investigate this...

Well, it looks like the underpinning incident of this thread is gone.

That said, as I pointed out, government surveillance of library usage is an ongoing threat and should be resisted whenever possible.

The little ****head.

Still, the fallout from the Bush story continues, and grows: Spying more extensive than previously thought.

I cited Faux news, even though it's on every outlet. Just for our 'Fair and Balanced' friends......
