NEW YORK - The National Security Agency has conducted much broader surveillance of e-mails and phone calls — without court orders — than the Bush administration has acknowledged, The New York Times reported on its Web site.
The NSA, with help from American telecommunications companies, obtained access to streams of domestic and international communications, said the Times in the report late Friday, citing unidentified current and former government officials.

The New York Times is determined to expose our dastardly self-protection.
Oh, wit--they KNOW it's a secret program.
Traitorous *&&^$%&!!!!
While I'd like to post the "Not this (stuff) again" jpeg, I'll just sigh.
You can get scramblers for phones and encryption software for email.
The "right" to a private phone conversation or email ends as soon as the transmission leaves your property. By using a telecom line, you are freely and knowingly transmitting beyond your private property. Now, set up a LAN and email your buddy in the other room or a phone switch and keep the calls on your personal PBX -- that is true privacy.
GWB needs to find the leak in his administration and plug it with a Predator drone
I think that accurately stats the position of the NYT 'Sources'.
Posting the picture has never been more necessary than with this latest NYT mud pie.

There is a War going on and it is not in Iraq!!!
"should be treated as an enemy"
Of the country, yes. Of Bush - heck no! Its clowns like the NY Times that tell the country that Bush is actually doing something while he's not on TV. They create an atmosphere that there's something going on! I want it stated quite plainly: Politically, I LOVE the NY Times. "Oh God, Bush is sniffing for radiation! Oh No!!!!" Oh yes, I say. He's "doing something". He's "after the bad guys". He didn't take a nap after launching a few cruise missiles. Thanks for shouting it to the world :) Keep on keepin' on.
Translation: they made it up.
Bush's momentum was just starting to pick up. The polls were shifting on Iraq, Iraq had another sucessful election, and one day after the election, the NYT splashes leaked information in an effort to get Bush. And what was probably working in a quiet and effective way has been highlighted to the world and our enemies.
SURREAL.
This is mass suicide on the part of the old media (NYT) and patriot act flip flopping democrats.
Yeah, but you don't have the need to know. So SHADDAP!
I dont think they are going to have time for suicide. They crossed the line and I hope no one lets them back.
The RATs and their fellow travelers are digging their own graves on this one.
We all know that this is directed against muslim extremists, not against us. My feeling is that 95% of the non-muslims in the US support this kind of measure -- the Old Media and the RATs are diggin their own grave.
The day will come when the RATs have only muslims as their voting block.
W's approval ratings are going up. A few more revelations by the NY Times and he could hit 60% in the next month...
I think they are describing Carnivore which was around before Bush.
Does anyone have that graph that shows the downward trend of NYT? I've seen it posted on other threads.
