NSA word game regarding terms 'gather' and 'collect'. It's kind of like a peeping Tom taking pictures of you through your window, then claiming he only looks at them after he obtains a warrant.

NSA keeps encrypted data for as long as it takes to crack it.

NSA leaker Snowden admits he took Booz Allen job to collect info on NSA spying. And he did.

Anger over Snowden continues.
