Allow me to quote from the NSA document we just
published defining PRISM: "COLLECTION DIRECTLY
FROM THE SERVERS"
Our story was written *from the start* to say NSA
claimed this, telecoms deny-we wanted them to have
to work it out *in public* what they do
We reported - accurately - what the NSA claims. We
reported - accurately - what the companies claim. It
conflicts. That's why we reported it
Just one more time: NSA on PRISM: "Collection directly
from the servers of these US service providers:
Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook.."
