Think ur premise @emptywheel @BuzzFeedBen is PRISM taps email servers of Americans-Zazi doesn't justify. But that report looks wrong.
@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 -
@emptywheel@BuzzFeedBen Yes I agree! But loop the call log into that too! -
@emptywheel@BuzzFeedBen W/ torture, cant know counterfactual. W/ metadata you can: *any* case where one-off subpoenas wouldnt have worked? -
@charlie_savage But PRISM is not only alternative to one-off subpoenas is it? This feels like post 9/11 excuses again.@BuzzFeedBen
