Host, you've already muddled the issue shakran brought up. The 2 have nothing to do with eachother, other than the commonality of phone numbers. They are 2 seperate programs.
From what I've read from what shakran posted it looks like the FBI is investigating government employees that have leaked classified information (its obvious to me this is a national security issue and fits under the Patriot Act, but perhaps not to all). An investigation of a leak at the CIA will inevitably lead to journalists, since they are the other end of the leak. I didn't read anything that said the FBI was targeting journalists, it appeared to me that their records could be looked over to help find the source of the leak.
Now I suppose its possible journalists could be targeted with this, but its also against the law to knowingly publish classified information if publishing that information is a threat to national security. But at this time it doesn't look like thats whats going on.
If we want to keep this thread open, we shouldn't muck it up with issues that have nothing to do with it.
