My thoughts exactly, I can't find the link now but last night someone published this story that linked to a photo image of the printed page and I thought it was a joke.
Made me wonder if some groups in gov't were either A) getting a little uncomfortable with all the heat on the survelliance programs or B) needed public pressure to pass more restrictive laws and decided to make up some claims to get public opinion back on their side. Any way you look at, articles like this one are why I stay away from mainstream news sources.

Same god damn'd thing. The news is simply a good way to know what the opinion leaders want us to think about various things.
