I don't expect them to be limiting themselves to terrorists - they're a foreign intelligence agency. I expect them to be gathering info on foreign governments, militaries, etc. (along with spying on terrorists).

I've written about the NSA porno article before, so I'll just post the link to that thread[1]. The TLDR is that Greenwald seems to have left a good deal out of his reporting in order to both sensationalize and avoid discrediting his own argument. I haven't read his new book; maybe he addresses it in there.
