Noah Shachtman wonders if new technology -- that former Senate Intel committee chair Bob Graham refers to in today's Post piece -- is behind the NSA snoop case? "I came out of the room with the full sense that we were dealing with a change in technology but not policy," Graham told the Post, referring to new opportunities to intercept overseas calls that passed through U.S. switches. "So maybe the NSA wiretaps were using a new kind of capability... one that might have even made the FISA court uncomfortable?" Shachtman wonders.
