From the slides leaked at 31c3 and by Der Spiegel that's not the case. They want everything. Even if you're not a target you're of interest -- either as a vector to a target.(someone you know, regardless how many "hops") some thing you have (information, or equipment/infrastructure as a proxy or platform for attack) Think of this example: you've ssh access coincidentally to a VPS on the same metal that coincidentally runs another VPS that belongs to a guy, who as a favour runs a totally separate server that hosts a "bad dude"(tm). Everybody in that chain and everybody connected to every one involved with the hardware are direct targets, all of their work colleagues are for the same reason. Now extend that up and down every technological stack and industry and you'll see how capricious the notion is. And if you're not a US citizen, you've no rights so who gives a shit? If you happen to be a US citizen, you've still no rights because the people targetting you will just be members of another Five Eyes organisation.
