Greenwald's Latest Report

The National Security Agency and FBI have covertly monitored the emails of prominent Muslim-Americans—including a political candidate and several civil rights activists, academics, and lawyers—under secretive procedures intended to target terrorists and foreign spies.

The five Americans whose email accounts were monitored by the NSA and FBI have all led highly public, outwardly exemplary lives. All five vehemently deny any involvement in terrorism or espionage, and none advocates violent jihad or is known to have been implicated in any crime, despite years of intense scrutiny by the government and the press. Some have even climbed the ranks of the U.S. national security and foreign policy establishments.

And I doubt any of them are surprised they have been being monitored. Read the article if you are interested in knowing their names.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.


I expect lawsuits.  And this time, the court cannot throw out the cases on the grounds that the would-be plaintiffs have no proof they've been illegally targeted.
