Flagged for being a witch hunt. I know the rule about flagging club is you don't talk about flagging club, but this is rather egregious.
Even if we decided this was ok, there are two major problems:
First, consider that there are several government projects named PRISM that are not secret and are unrelated to the NSA. Example: http://www.mitre.org/news/digest/advanced_research/03_13/remote_sensing.html http://www.mitre.org/news/digest/advanced_research/03_13/rem... and http://www.dot.gov/individuals/privacy/pia-prism http://www.dot.gov/individuals/privacy/pia-prism.
Second, the claims about the secret NSA PRISM program that Greenwald initially made have been contradicted by The Washington Post, The New York Times, every tech CEO, and have been walked back by Greenwald himself. I know a lot of people will never believe that and have been conflating PRISM with other issues (such as telephone call logging), but at this point a lot of the initial claims made regarding unfettered access to tech company data are without merit.
