A story about USA Today's contribution to the NYT's terrorist assistance program:
USA Today acknowledged in a "note to our readers" Friday that it could not establish that BellSouth or Verizon contracted with the National Security Agency to provide it with customer calling records, as it previously reported.
But spokesman Steve Anderson said "this is an important story that holds up well. At the heart of our report is the fact that NSA is collecting phone call records of millions of Americans."
Why would you want to call attention to this just now? Are they nuts? Truth is, no NSA computer ever looked into who I called and who called me. The NSA looked into who contacted suspected terrorists. And, like it or not, that was a good thing.
