Whistleblower: NSA spied on everyone, targeted journalists

"It didn't matter whether you were in Kansas, in the middle of the country, and you never made foreign communications at all. They monitored all communications."

He further said that journalists were monitored 24/7/365. And when he tried to figure out why, he was fired.

If it's true that journalists were monitored just to get dirt on them using the surveillance systems intended to fight terrorism, then IMO this is AT LEAST as big a deal as Watergate was.
