The NSA's General Didn't Lie To Congress About Spying On Americans — They Hire It Out To The Israelis
NSA's chief General Keith Alexander was called before Congress last week to testify about the $2 billion Utah spy center the NSA is currently building, and he said that the NSA does not have the ability to spy on the confidential personal communications of Americans.
It seems that he wasn't lying since the NSA hired secretive contractors with extensive ties to Israel to provide hardware and software for 10 to 20 wiretapping rooms in key telecommunication points throughout the country, according to Wired.
Thus the NSA has gained access to most of the domestic traffic flowing through the U.S. without actually doing it themselves.
