NSA Secret Database Ensnared President Clinton’s Private E-mail
By Kim Zetter
06.17.09 3:17 PM


A secret NSA surveillance database containing millions of intercepted foreign and domestic e-mails includes the personal correspondence of former President Bill Clinton, according to the New York Times.

An NSA intelligence analyst was apparently investigated after accessing Clinton’s personal correspondence in the database, the paper reports, though it didn’t say how many of Clinton’s e-mails were captured or when the interception occurred.

~Snip~

The NSA has claimed that the over-collection was inadvertent and corrected it each time the problem was discovered. But Rep. Rush Holt (D-New Jersey), chairman of the House Select Intelligence Oversight Panel, disputed this. “Some actions are so flagrant that they can’t be accidental,” he told the Times.

Holt and other congressional reps have been holding closed-door meetings on the issue. Holt’s office said there are no current plans to hold a hearing on the matter, but the investigation is on-going.

"Whoops! How'd Bill's email get in our terra net? Oh that's right he's one of them pervs that had sexual relations. Better keep them emails in the system for awhile. Because if that ain't terra ism I don't know what is...."
