Did the executive branch ask for this authority explicitly, or did Congress decide in it's own to grant it?

This is a good summation of NSA discussion on HN lately: someone asking for a citation gets downvoted. Good job guys!

But if the discussion of hops is just a veil then that means it has no bearing to what they are actually doing behind the veil.

You're correct - if it's not useful to the investigation of the person who called Comcast, why would they look at everyone who has called Comcast? Common sense says that they would not look at that data. If the response is "w

I think the latter part of this is only true if it is possible for the other parties to detect that he has been compromised.

That would seem to conflict with his statement that I have not provided any information that would harm our people - agent or not - and I have no intention to do so . If Der Spiegel (or the Guardian, or the Washington Post) was less rigoro

Perhaps there are scenarios I am not thinking of then but then in order to access the documents/information, he would need to be able to freely communicate with the other party. If he was to be detained somewhere without outside contac

My point is that he could have chosen to fly through a dozen other countries not named Russia. No one forced him to choose that connection (or to participate in the fake flight to Havana).

As Joshua Foust points out, Snowden gave some info to Der Spiegel that they chose not to publish which seems to conflict with some of the "no harm" statements here: SPIEGEL has decided not to publish details it has seen about sec

How would that work though? Wouldn't it mean that in order to access the info he is talking about, you need something more than knowledge he has in his head - like physical access to something? But then, in the worst case scenario - ho

How does a person's DNA help in fighting terrorism or any of the other things that the NSA does? It's not going to tell you who is exchanging information or plans like Facebook messages would.

How did they force him to take a one-way flight to Moscow?

I think most of the time you would want some sort of official response to an attempt to systematically catalog the employees of your nation's clandestine intelligence agencies.

If you are still using GMail (or Yahoo, or arbitrary US-based email company) in August, your right to complain about the NSA spying on you is revoked. If you’re complaining about government spying on the Internet, or in a gathering of prog

The good news for the candidate is this type of behavior is a great leading indicator of what working for the company will be like.

At the very least, deciders chosen by a government elected by the people, whatever value that has, is of more value than a single self-chosen person who happened to have the correct level of access and skills to access more documents than h

A foreign intelligence agency like the NSA actually needs less of a legal framework to spy on a foreign company as opposed to a domestic one. It's sort of the whole point of a foreign intelligence agency, not respecting the laws of o

Greenwald was criticized for saying that the USG "should be on it's knees begging every day", a clearly inflammatory thing to say. To act like the criticism is the result of some grand government conspiracy is a bit much. The
