And just found this – http://www.politico.com/story/2013/10/keith-alexander-nsa-report-google-yahoo-99103.html

A new report that the U.S. government had infiltrated links to Google’s and Yahoo’s data centers around the globe drew a sharp rebuke Wednesday from the National Security Agency, which declined to comment whether such collection had ever occurred.

The program, exposed through Edward Snowden’s leaks and reported by The Washington Post, said the NSA relied on a broad executive order to access data-center connections in secret outside the United States. Asked about the story, Gen. Keith Alexander, the agency’s leader, said earlier Wednesday he was unaware of it — adding the NSA is “not authorized” to access companies data centers and instead must “go through a court process” to obtain such content.

The NSA, meanwhile, emphasized it hadn’t tried to circumvent U.S. law under the decades-old order, known as 12333.

“The assertion that we collect vast quantities of U.S. persons’ data from this type of collection is also not true,” a spokeswoman added. But the NSA aide declined to discuss further whether the agency — perhaps under other authorities — had infiltrated data center connections at all.

Google and Yahoo both told the Post it hadn’t granted the NSA access to its data centers. Both companies did not immediately comment for this story.

For now, the latest leak only adds to the serious political troubles plaguing the NSA, which this week has faced considerable flak for monitoring world leaders’ communications, snooping on the United Nations and perhaps even targeting its surveillance efforts at the Vatican. The revelations together have prompted a groundswell of international fury, especially in Europe. And those complaints have resonated on Capitol Hill, where many lawmakers are weighing new ways to restrain the agency’s surveillance authorities.

Much of the focus has been on existing law — the so-called Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, and the PATRIOT Act, both of which grant the NSA broad capabilities to obtain phone call logs and Internet communications. But those laws don’t necessarily govern the spy agency’s collection capabilities overseas — an area in which many on Capitol Hill long have acknowledged a blind spot in their oversight.

The latest furor centers on a project code named MUSCULAR, which targets data centers located around the world and granted the NSA access potentially to hundreds of millions of accounts, including those perhaps owned by Americans, the Post indicated. The program appears to differ from PRISM, another initiative revealed by Snowden and permitted under U.S. law, which allows the NSA to obtain data from Internet companies directly.

Asked about the report, the NSA spokeswoman would not comment on its specifics — only on its legal underpinnings.

She said the “NSA applies Attorney General-approved processes to protect the privacy of U.S. persons – minimizing the likelihood of their information in our targeting, collection, processing, exploitation, retention, and dissemination.”

“NSA is a foreign intelligence agency. And we’re focused on discovering and developing intelligence about valid foreign intelligence targets only,” the spokeswoman added.

Earlier in the day, Alexander defended the NSA’s conduct while attending a Bloomberg cyber summit. “It’s legal, it’s necessary and it’s authorized, in every case,” Alexander said of existing programs that permit the NSA to collect phone records and monitor Internet communications for foreign threats.

So they’re pissed about the report, but they are not denying it. Assholes!  :nannah:

But was it really news to you tibs? Snowden is finally able to prove what so many thought. Once all the revelations are done about the US, we will be shone in a different light on the world stage.

How much longer will other countries sit back and let us spy on them? Wait till China hears about whatever massive spying we’re doing on them.

yep, that is scary, but you have to know that other countries are spying on us right back….

I guarantee you places like the former Soviet union and China have Got Spy’s over here watching us…..it would be a lot easier for them to infiltrate us than the other way around..

and in the long term I don’t care if the Chinese know how many times a day I masturbate…
