Whistleblower: NSA spied on everyone.

If journalists were having all their communications monitored, it gets me wondering how many journalists had secrets (eg affairs) that got back to Karl Rove. It might explain a lot.

This must hit front page!!! Very important,

To the OP put this link in your OP.

I've suspected that they have been recording all calls and communications of high profile people for a long time. If these people get out of line all that needs to be done is a search of their communications till you find some dirt and then crucify them with it. ie. Rod Blagojevich & Eliot Spitzer

The "whistle blowing" had the effect that was desired. What good are the communications if you can't use them in court? Once the whistle was blown on the spying it was made an issue that needed to be confronted and legitimized.

Presto, order out of chaos in action.

Whistleblower: Bush's NSA spied on EVERYONE

With video: Rampant spying, especially targeting of journalists. The NSA had access to ALL YOUR COMMUNICATIONS, regardless of who you were or whether or not you were communicating internationally.

conspiracy theorists.

This should be old news to "conspiracy theorists". The NSA have been monitoring U.S. citizens for decades. This did not start on 9/11, as many people have asserted here on the DP. Look into Echelon. I will post a couple links below. This has rarely, if ever been mentioned by "conspiracy theorists" on DP. I posted the information in a thread a long time ago. This ignorance of NSA surveillance leads me to believe the vast majority of "conspiracy theorists" on DP became one after 9/11. Otherwise, if you were a "conspiracy theorist" back in the 90's, like myself, you would know this information. I would like to add that they are not only specifically targeting journalists like they talked about in the article above, they are even targeting people right here at DP. You will end up on the list if you are a outspoken critic of the government and their policies. I am just letting you know for your own good.

"ECHELON is a term associated with a global network of computers that automatically search through millions of intercepted messages for pre-programmed keywords or fax, telex and e-mail addresses. Every word of every message in the frequencies and channels selected at a station is automatically searched. The processors in the network are known as the ECHELON Dictionaries. ECHELON connects all these computers and allows the individual stations to function as distributed elements an integrated system. An ECHELON station's Dictionary contains not only its parent agency's chosen keywords, but also lists for each of the other four agencies in the UKUSA system [NSA, GCHQ, DSD, GCSB and CSE]"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON

"ECHELON is a name used in global media and in popular culture to describe a signals intelligence (SIGINT) collection and analysis network operated on behalf of the five signatory states to the UK-USA Security Agreement (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States, known as AUSCANZUKUS).[1] It has also been described only as the software system which controls the download and dissemination of the intercept of commercial satellite trunk communications.[2]
The system has been reported in a number of public sources.[3] Its capabilities and political implications were investigated by a committee of the European Parliament during 2000 and 2001 with a report published in 2001,[4] and by author James Bamford in his books on the National Security Agency of the United States.[2]
In its report, the European Parliament states that the term ECHELON is used in a number of contexts, but that the evidence presented indicates that it was the name for a signals intelligence collection system. The report concludes that, on the basis of information presented, ECHELON was capable of interception and content inspection of telephone calls, fax, e-mail and other data traffic globally through the interception of communication bearers including satellite transmission, public switched telephone networks and microwave links. The committee further concluded that "the technical capabilities of the system are probably not nearly as extensive as some sections of the media had assumed".[4]
Bamford describes the system as the software controlling the collection and distribution of civilian telecommunications traffic conveyed using communication satellites, with the collection being undertaken by groundstations located in the footprint of the downlink leg."
