For years, top officials of the Bush and Obama administrations
dismissed fears about secret government data-mining by reassuring
Congress that there were no secret nets trawling for Americans' phone
and Internet records.
"We do not vacuum up the contents of communications under the
president's program and then use some sort of magic after the
intercept to determine which of those we want to listen to, deal with
or report on," then-CIA Director Michael Hayden told a Senate
Judiciary Committee hearing in July 2006.
