Some NSA employees were using the data-mining program to spy on their lovers
We have been told over and over again by the NSA and Barack Obama that the NSA data-mining program was not being used to spy on Americans citizens. They claim that this is only a data-mining program which simply looks for keywords and phrases which might link people to terrorist activity, and that the actual content of most correspondence is not being accessed unless those keywords and phrases are being used.
Then came the revelation, at the NSA’s own admission, that there have been thousands of privacy violations, and a handful of these violations were done willingly. Again were assured that this was no big deal because this represents a small proportion when it is considered that millions of people are being spied on, but it must be remembered that because the NSA is using (unconstitutionally) blanket warrants that these violations represent hundreds, if not thousands, of people who are affected by the violations.
Now we are learning that some NSA employees were actually using the data-mining program to spy on their lovers. These employees even have a name for this practice, it is called LOVEINT.
This, of course, calls into question the claim that no Americans are being spied on and leaves one wondering how much information is readily available to the employees at the NSA for whatever reason.
I am not sure how any American, upon hearing this news, can have faith that this is the benevolent program we are being led to believe it is. How can anyone trust the Federal Government with this information when we have seen how easily it can be abused by anyone who has access to this information for any reason they deem fit?

If I worked for the NSA I could spy on the neighborhood dog owners to find out who isn’t picking up their dog poops.

It’s okay.., I thank you for your courtesy.
You’re welcome, and thank you, for the article.
Many times such as the subject of the article, I already post, but look for other posts because I want the readers to understand that I am not pulling this stuff out of my rear end.
As you worded the article, it is very good, and the readers of the blog understand that there is something going on that needs to be addressed because numerous blogs are carrying the same information. It means that the readers and bloggers are not behind the curve as are those that follow main stream media drivel.

I agree, there can never be enough people covering stories like this and their can never be enough written about these stories because the word needs to get out there and the mainstream media isn’t going to do it.

I heard a snippet on Fox that a couple of intelligence committee members “leaked” that this was just the tip of the iceberg.Phone calls, internet usage, bank accounts…what else?

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is true, in fact I would be surprised if there wasn’t much more to this story that we don’t know about.

The more we learn, the less likely I am to believe the NSA has any business policing itself. I don’t trust them, not in the least.

That’s the real kicker, isn’t it? There is no way this agency can be trusted to tell us the extent of what is going on.
