Is the N.S.A. spying on Portlanders?
Recent reports that the National Security Agency may or may not be snooping through the phone records of millions of Americans who may or may not be “innocent” of terrorism and treason have caused concern.
In response, The Bollard may or may not have filed a Freedom of Information request with the N.S.A., and may or may not have received these snippets of conversation flagged by N.S.A. screeners listening in on phone calls originating from Portland, Maine.
These snippets may indicate that the N.S.A.’s hypothetical domestic spying program is an essential defensive weapon in the global war on terror. On the other hand, they may not. You be the judge.
