WASHINGTON -- A massive email surveillance program run by the National Security Agency is not directed at Americans and is legally permissible and highly useful for anti-terror operation, a senior administration official said in a statement Thursday night.
The statement, provided on condition of anonymity, came hours after news outlets revealed the existence of the PRISM program, which provides the NSA with access to records of America’s largest Internet companies. The statement is an implicit confirmation of the program’s existence. It also is the first defense of the massive surveillance effort that, until Thursday evening, the public did not know existed.

lying to their users and freely handing over personal data.$1:
James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, has released his first on-the-record statement about the PRISM program, calling the disclosure of it “reprehensible” and insisting that Americans aren’t targeted.
Americans aren't targeted (being Canadian what the hell does this mean to us?), therefore it's all good?
