thenation | So many questions! How much of our personal information can the NSA get

whistleblower Edward Snowden requires a bullshit-detector cranked up to

already glommed on, limpet-like, to media accounts, often deforming the
story beyond recognition. Below is your handy myth-stripping guide to
understanding this critical news item.
