NSA wiretapping update

It appears that the NSA’s telephone call database “is not complete.” USA Today has a follow-up to their earlier story. They add this mea culpa to the original revelation:

Based on its reporting after the May 11 article, USA TODAY has now concluded that while the NSA has built a massive domestic calls record database involving the domestic call records of telecommunications companies, the newspaper cannot confirm that BellSouth or Verizon contracted with the NSA to provide bulk calling records to that database.

We may never know the full extent of telco involvement with the NSA.

(Thanks to TPM for the tip.)
