CNET Story Alleging NSA Can Listen To U.S. Phone Calls Without Warrant Faces Skepticism

AppId is over the quota

A blockbuster article published by CNET Saturday night alleges that the National Security Agency has the power to listen to Americans' phone calls without a warrant.

That bold assertion lit up social media, but also drew skepticism, with many arguing that it seemed to be based on a misunderstanding.

The core of the CNET article focused on an exchange between Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and FBI Director Robert Mueller at a hearing on Thursday. (Watch above.) During questioning, Nadler claimed that in a separate, closed-door briefing, he had been told that NSA analysts could listen to the contents of a phone call at analysts' discretion.

Given the apparent illegality of listening to Americans' phone calls without warrants, some questioned whether Nadler understood the briefing he cited. As of late Saturday night, several publications were not able to reach the congressman for comment.

Mother Jones's Kevin Drum writes that "information from that telephone" could mean one of many things, and that Nadler may have been "confusing the ability of an analyst to get subscriber information for a phone number with the ability to listen to the call itself." Normative's Julian Sanchez wrote that Nadler may have been referring to a more limited set of circumstances than the CNET article implied.

Erin Brockovich Boat Arrest
Cop Says She Slapped Her Husband ... Threw Cell Phone Into Lake

Erin Brockovich has officially been charged with drunk driving a boat last week -- after police say she threw a cell phone into the water, slapped her husband, and openly admitted she was a TERRIBLE boat driver.

TMZ has obtained the police report from the incident last Friday on Lake Mead in Nevada -- and according to the doc, Brockovich and her husband were fighting loudly on board their boat when a game warden approached to investigate the situation.

According to the warden, he observed Brockovich throw a cell phone in the lake and then slap her husband ... which is interesting ... because Brockovich's husband filed for divorce last year. (The divorce has since been called off.)

The warden says he asked Brockovich to dock her boat but she stated that she was "not very good at driving" it -- so the warden helped guide it in himself.

At that point, the warden suspected Brockovich was under the influence -- claiming she smelled like booze and was slurring her speech. According to the warden, she also blew a .186 and .190 on the breathalyzer ... MORE than double the legal limit, which is .08.

Brockovich was subsequently placed under arrest. She has since apologized for her actions.
