Guardian releases "proof" of NSA spying by leaking
presentation dated BEFORE the FISA Amendments Act of 2008.
Here's the "proof":
http://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/jul/31/nsa-xkeyscore-program-full-presentation
Look at the date on that first slide - it clearly says 25 Feb 2008.
But the FISA Amendments Act was signed into Law on 07 July 2008. We already knew that they were illegally collected data prior to that - that's why the Act was passed in the first place!
Don't they have anything AFTER the Act was passed?
