Think ur premise @emptywheel @BuzzFeedBen is PRISM taps email servers of Americans-Zazi doesn't justify. But that report looks wrong.
@charlie_savage That was reference to REuters, which took Rogers Thursday AM statements to mean PRISM. @BuzzFeedBen

@emptywheel@BuzzFeedBen looks to me like you were talking about PRISM - the one written about by both WP and Guardian, the Zazi one -
@charlie_savage I was talking abt fact that Reuters conflated the two. Esp apply Rogers pre-PRISM statements to PRISM.@BuzzFeedBen

@emptywheel Then why did you describe it as a program to collect email data, not call log data?@BuzzFeedBen -
@charlie_savage Sorry. I used "data" to mean "metadata." But issue was still Reuters clearly conflating two programs.@BuzzFeedBen -
@emptywheel@BuzzFeedBen It's the 'email' part of that phrase in which you appear to be talking about PRISM, as the other one is phone data -
@charlie_savage OK. See your point. But isn't PRISM abt collecting email CONTENT? Point is getting to Bomb help request.@BuzzFeedBen -
Point
@emptywheel@BuzzFeedBen is while feds couldve gotten ind warrant for that account (& crushing # of others) that's just the FAA debate -
BTW
@emptywheel@BuzzFeedBen same critique holds for the call log library- they can and do get individual subpoenas for#s so why necessary? -
I think this critique re call log library much more important
@emptywheel@BuzzFeedBen & unfortunate misreporting of PRISM distracted frm it -
@charlie_savage But PRISM Q is akin to torture & OBL one. Did KSM, by lying under torture, help? Doesn't mean torture was key.@BuzzFeedBen - 3 more replies

@emptywheel@charlie_savage@BuzzFeedBen Charlie, since we had email account why Prism so valuable? Cudnt we monitor emails before prism? -
@adamgoldmanap@emptywheel@BuzzFeedBen That is why I say this is really a beef w/ FAA generally, not w/ notion Zazi detected through PRISM -
@adamgoldmanap@emptywheel@BuzzFeedBen Feds could in theory get ind warrants for overseas targets; they would limit # & wasn't FISA intent
