NEWSFLASH: NSA DOING ITS JOB!

USA Today tries its hand at scare-mongering today with a piece disclosing a secret--well, not anymore-- NSA program analyzing phone call patterns and data that private phone companies AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth collect:


The NSA program reaches into homes and businesses across the nation by amassing information about the calls of ordinary Americans — most of whom aren't suspected of any crime. This program does not involve the NSA listening to or recording conversations. But the spy agency is using the data to analyze calling patterns in an effort to detect terrorist activity, sources said in separate interviews.

Translation: NSA--gasp!--is doing its job.
