This was a political ploy to stop the Patriot Act from being extended. These piece of crap Pols that acted all shocked knew very well what was going on and would have screamed bloody murder is we had not stopped something through this program.

My bet on the leak was a pol that was first informed sometime ago but was against the Patriot Act from being extended. He knew that a tempest in a tea pot would scuttle it.

They look for key words and names. They can not look at everyones damed conversations. Lets get real here, 500 Americans, wonder what their background is? Maybe if you join a terr group or talk about blowing up the Empire State Building, then yuou might attract attention.
