CIA reportedly pays to collect foreign call data from AT&T

[Youbetternot]

Oh Ho, looks like the CIA is being bad now. The CIA is paying AT&T to tap into phone calls from foreign country (Country that's not US). I think the US CIA and NSA is all full of bull, why can't they just stop collection data form innocent people What you guys think about this since I know we have a very diverse community.

The NSA wields its legal authority to collect phone call data from American telecom providers, but the CIA apparently doesn't even need to apply pressure. The New York Times claims that the agency has a years-old voluntary agreement with AT&T that lets it obtain the call records of foreign suspects; the CIA pays $10 million per year in compensation. While the carrier reportedly hides identifying data for American participants, intelligence officers can demand that information as well if they get FBI subpoenas.
