- We Call a Top NSA Whistleblower ... And Get the REAL SCOOP on Spying - "I called Binney to find out what he meant. I began by asking Binney if Business Insider’s speculation was correct. Specifically, I asked Binney if the government’s SECRET INTERPRETATION of Section 215 of the Patriot Act was that a foreign company – like Narus, for example – could vacuum up information on Americans, and then the NSA would obtain that data under the excuse of spying on foreign entities … i.e. an Israeli company. Binney replied no … it was broader than that. Binney explained that the government is taking the position that it can gather and use any information about American citizens living on U.S. soil if it comes from: Any service provider … any third party … any commercial company – like a telecom or internet service provider, libraries, medical companies – holding data about anyone, any U.S. citizen or anyone else."
