NSA Repeatedly Violated Court Rules On Data Protection

Rules? What rules? We're the government, we don't abide by no stinking rules!

The documents, mostly from 2009, describe what a judge on the secret court that oversees surveillance said was the improper access of "thousands" of Americans' phone numbers by government counterterrorism analysts. They also indicate that US government officials, including NSA director Keith Alexander, gave misleading statements to the court about how they carried out that surveillance.
