Lex has written a great, extensive, article on his work blog about the newest NSA scandal. After reading it my first reaction is this: because what the NSA is doing isn’t actually listening to the conversations on all the calls they are tracking I guess the NSA (and the President and Attorney General) can claim they weren’t lying when they said earlier this year that they were only tapping calls between folks in the US and overseas.  And that is exactly the kind of hair-splitting I’ve come to expect of the President and all his little people.  Will we ever find the bottom of the pit that this Administration has dug?
