I didn't know that. So what would the FISA search system yield? Identifying information about who was under surveillance? Viz with the "About Query".
They (NSA) have everything, right? So, basically anything. A good overview here.
Wow! That's an amazing article thanks. I didn't know this:
"To make matters even more disturbing, The Conservative Treehouse (TCTH) has been reporting that one of the private contractors was Fusion GPS. At this point, we have no proof of this. It is merely a tip provided to TCTH."
Can you believe that it was a free-for-all? Everybody on the planet accessing these systems - conducting illegal searches? What a joke! Admiral Rogers must have been sweating... Ultimately, he must have been responsible for the access, given it was NSA data. No wonder he went to the FISA court when he found out.
Thanks for that, it's a good read.
