National Security Agency reportedly collecting info on *all* calls
placed by Verizon subscribers

http://j.mp/18XKs62  (Guardian)

    "The National Security Agency is currently collecting the telephone
     records of millions of US customers of Verizon, one of America's
     largest telecoms providers, under a top secret court order issued in
     April.  The order, a copy of which has been obtained by the Guardian,
     requires Verizon on an "ongoing, daily basis" to give the NSA
     information on all telephone calls in its systems, both within the US
     and between the US and other countries ... Under the Bush
     administration, officials in security agencies had disclosed to
     reporters the large-scale collection of call records data by the NSA,
     but this is the first time significant and top-secret documents have
     revealed the continuation of the practice on a massive scale under
     President Obama."
