Personally...I'm so used to being lied to by politicians that I believe NSA abuses are rampant. I think it's being done for all sorts of reasons...Including personal financial gain. Being able to know dirt on everyone is a very powerful weapon. J Edgar Hoover used his secret files on all politicians to blackmail them into doing what he wanted....Including making sure he stayed in office. So yes...I am fairly convinced that abuses are running rampant with this NSA policy of intercepting everyones communications.

The National Security Agency, or NSA, on Friday( on August 24 2013 10:17 AM), admitted to some instances over the last decade when its officials deliberately exceeded the NSA's surveillance authority.
"Very rare instances of willful violations of NSA's authorities have been found," the NSA said in a statement, according to the Associated Press.
The agency said those “instances” did not involve violations of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, and those involved were disciplined.
The "NSA takes very seriously allegations of misconduct, and cooperates fully with any investigations -- responding as appropriate," the NSA statement said. "The NSA has zero tolerance for willful violations of the agency's authorities."
However, according to a Wall Street Journal report, the willful violations, which included cases where employees abused their power to spy on love interests, were not as rare as the NSA claims. Snooping on love interests was so prevalent, according to the report, employees gave the practice had a code name of its own.
According to the U.S. officials, who were quoted by the Journal, the NSA employees referred to the practice as LOVEINT -- a short label for collecting intelligence from lovers. A handful of such cases, which involved NSA workers using the agency’s tracking systems to spy on their love interests, were reported in the last decade.
Earlier this week, the NSA's inspector general's office had briefed the Senate Intelligence Committee on the willful violations.
"The committee has learned that in isolated cases over the past decade, a very small number of NSA personnel have violated NSA procedures -- in roughly one case per year," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who chairs the committee, said in a statement Friday.
Feinstein added that in most of these cases, the spying did not take place in the U.S., and the committee is reviewing the incidents.
"I have been informed by the NSA that disciplinary action has been taken, and I am reviewing each of these incidents in detail," Feinstein added.
Last week, officials admitted the NSA had violated privacy rules on nearly 3,000 occasions over a one-year period, and a secret FISA court ruling from 2001 that was declassified this week showed the agency had collected about 56,000 emails from Americans illegally.

Right; but THIS TIME, he said that his department didn't collect the 70 million French e-mails as reported/leaked like the last time.
You're responding to a post I made 7 days ago, and much has changed since then. You'll have to be more specific than "this time" - I'm not entirely sure I know what you're talking about right now.Right; but THIS TIME, he said that his department didn't collect the 70 million French e-mails as reported/leaked like the last time.
I thought everybody knew?!?

Kind of reminds one of, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!"
I guess to Tapper, it depends on what you mean by the definition of "Tapping".
Well thanks!
I suppose I could have made the words, "THIS TIME" a hot link to the latest accusation of abuse by the NSA?!? I guess I figured since they are in the news in what seems like every week with a new and different allegation; there would/will be more; "THIS TIMES" a'comin down the pike.
Damn!
How dare they imply that the NSA was using other government inter agencies to share information. Where's FISA when you need them?
But seriously, how is it that Snowden isn't dead?
He's really laying it on.Let's be honest! He broke the law! He broke his companies policies! And he may or may not be a traitor. What is amazing is these revelations continue to surge forward and there is still no major uproar by the American people to do something meaningful and immediately to address this.
Like everything else in this world, we have to decide for ourselves if he is a hero or a traitor, because everyone of any authority that falls on one side of the other has an agenda.
"I'm a federal agent! You know what that means, you lowlife mother******? It means you've got no rights; your a** is mine! I could kick your teeth down your throat and yank 'em out your a******, and I'm not even violating your civil rights." - FBI Special Agent Wayne Tarrance, The Firm
Fortunately, Mitch McDeer was wearing a wire at the time. Feds hate that, if its not their wire.
