U.S. admits innocent Americans caught in NSA spying ops

http://j.mp/17vpMSs  (NBC)

    "Ret. Adm. Dennis Blair, who served as President Obama's DNI in 2009
     and 2010, told NBC News that, in one instance in 2009, analysts
     entered a phone number into agency computers and "put one digit
     wrong," and mined a large volume of information about Americans with
     no connection to terror."
