would be guessing correctly.

Walter Pincus in the Washington Post has written that...

Information captured by the National Security Agency's secret eavesdropping on communications between the United States and overseas has been passed on to other government agencies, which cross-check the information with tips and information collected in other databases, current and former administration officials said.

The NSA has turned such information over to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and to other government entities, said three current and former senior administration officials, although it could not be determined which agencies received what types of information. Information from intercepts -- which typically includes records of telephone or e-mail communications -- would be made available by request to agencies that are allowed to have it, including the FBI, DIA, CIA and Department of Homeland Security, one former official said.

Couple this revelation with other sources which indicate *who* at least some of that information was about, it appears NSA information has been used by Pentagon to spy on Gays (Cause y'know, there a really huge national security risk with all that Pink and fashion sense and all..) while the FBI has been spying on Greenpeace, Peta and Anti-War Protestors.
