NSA Briefing

Via AP/Yahoo:

USA Today reported last week that three of the four major phone companies provided information on the calling records of millions of Americans. Two of the companies — Verizon Communications Inc. and BellSouth Corp. — have since disputed key assertions that they provided vast amounts of customer data to the NSA.

In an interview, Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., a former FBI agent and intelligence committee member, said: "I can assure you there are no customer records involved. None." But he would not elaborate on the briefings he received.

But it came from an unnamed source. Doesn't it have to be true?

"I think it was inaccurately reported and completely overblown about what is and what isn't available to the NSA," he said.

Oh, my. What's the left gonna do without victims?

Added - Sad thing is, USA Today will probably get a pulitzer anyway, as a reward for making the administration look bad and because they thought they were publishing classified information. It wasn't their fault it wasn't true...

After all, it's the thought that counts...
