Just How Extensive is NSA's Spy Program?
Declan McCullagh writes on C|Net News:
A week after a domestic-spying scheme by the National Security Agency was disclosed, the details remain shrouded in secrecy.
President Bush forcefully defended the operation in a press conference on Monday, but offered few clues about how it worked in practice. Neither did Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, except to say that "it is probably the most classified program that exists in the United States government."
But some technologists and civil libertarians, using clues that dribbled out in press briefings and news articles, are concluding that the operation involves widespread monitoring of millions of e-mail messages and telephone conversations that cross any U.S. border.
