"massive electronic databases ... contain records of phone calls and e-mail messages of millions..."

"massive electronic databases ... contain records of phone calls and e-mail messages of millions..."

HELLO! Is this an admission that the government HAS all phone calls and e-mails in a massive database.

Needless to say, Congress members want to know more about this leak too. I just happerns to be coming out when Gonzolies is in the hot seat for possible perjury. Is DoJ looking for this leaker with the same zeal as previous leakers, or is DoJ the new leaker trying to save Gonzo's lame career?

Check out this important line near the end of the Gonzales article:

"The New York Times, citing anonymous government officials it declined to name, reported Sunday that the 2004 dispute was over computer searches through massive electronic databases, which contain records of phone calls and e-mail messages of millions of Americans."

"If the dispute chiefly involved data mining rather than eavesdropping, that raised the question as to whether Gonzales might be technically correct, ..."

Actually, if the USG has every communication, the "massive electronic databases" and how they are used is what raises questions. Is the NYT out to lunch?
