Court gave NSA broad leeway in surveillance, documents show

I don't find today's Washington Post story, Court gave NSA broad leeway in surveillance, documents show, at all surprising. As a spy organization I'd expect the NSA to spy on other countries, potentially all of them. As far as intercepting things (even from US citizens) that refer to some address or thing of interest in another country, there have long been "joke" email tools (like Emacs' spook) that add random words at the of messages to flood the NSA. I've found the other revelations much more interesting.
