Comment Snowden and Wired magazine (Score 1) 601
Snowden's disclosure of the NSA's data recording activities was already made public last year in Wired magazine: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/ . The most interesting point of the article, aside from the scope of the surveillance, is that they don't need to analyze all of the data in real time. They just need to record ALL of it and then go back and sort through the "good stuff".
