New ODNI press release:
http://www.odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/191-press-releases-2013/917-joint-statement-nsa-and-office-of-the-director-of-national-intelligence
Press reports based on an article published in today’s Wall Street Journal mischaracterize aspects of NSA’s data collection activities conducted under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The NSA does not sift through and have unfettered access to 75% of the United States’ online communications.
The following are the facts:
--Media reports based upon the recent Wall Street Journal (WSJ) article regarding NSA’s foreign intelligence activities provide an inaccurate and misleading picture of NSA’s collection programs, but especially with respect to NSA’s use of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
--The reports leave readers with the impression that NSA is sifting through as much as 75% of the United States’ online communications, which is simply not true.
--In its foreign intelligence mission, and using all its authorities, NSA "touches" about 1.6%, and analysts only look at 0.00004%, of the world’s internet traffic.

etc. etc.
The interesting part is:
--In its foreign intelligence mission, and using all its authorities, NSA "touches" about 1.6%, and analysts only look at 0.00004%, of the world’s internet traffic.

My guess is that is a statement about just how understaffed they are and how they need more funding to make up for the slack. :P
Oh, and they have a new blog site:

Hehe! Renny, you're so sweet! You believed their "facts"!
However, in response to that "damage control move" in this game, I reply with:
"NZ police affidavits show use of PRISM for surveillance
Live traffic capture.
Police affidavits related to the raid on Kim Dotcom's Mega mansion appear to show that New Zealand police and spy agencies are able to tap directly into United States surveillance systems such as PRISM to capture email and other traffic.
The discovery was made by blogger Keith Ng who wrote on his On Point blog that the Organised and Financial Crime Agency New Zealand (OFCANZ) requested assistance from the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB), the country's signals intelligence unit, which is charge of surveilling the Pacific region under the Five-Eyes agreement."

So see? 75% might be closer to the mark! Otherwise they would have "wasted" their 1.6% & 0.00004% on Kim Dotcom, and none of the 400 other more important topics!
