Accusations are not proof of anything.
A lot of people don't know this, but...
"[A]ll forms of communication, including the complete contents of private emails, cell phone calls, and Internet searches, as well as all types of personal data trails — parking receipts, travel itineraries, bookstore purchases, and other digital 'pocket litter'" are collected at the NSAs $1.5 Billion Utah Data Center on every single American, every single second of every day. Right now, as I type this, it is being logged in some quiet corner of the largest and most invasive surveillance system in the history of the world. Find out more here:

From the NSA website:
"Every day, people leave a digital trail of electronic breadcrumbs as they go about their daily routine. They go to work using electronic fare cards; drive through intersections with traffic cameras; walk down the street past security cameras; surf the internet; pay for purchases with credit/debit cards; text or call their friends; and on and on." And on and on and on... Into infinity! And Beyond!

He was 'spied on' with a few simple clicks of the mouse, just like you, me and the little old lady down the street.

And it's a completely legal, according to them:
"Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) provides us with a bonanza of "incidental" data collected from ordinary Americans communicating with foreigners targeted by this sweeping law. This convenient loophole allows us to peruse this database in our never-ending search for the elusive "needle in a haystack"."
They keep it all here, in this $1.5 Billion facility, in Utah:
