“The Central Intelligence Agency is secretly collecting bulk records of international money transfers handled by companies like Western Union — including transactions into and out of the United States — under the same law that the National Security Agency uses for its huge database of Americans’ phone records, according to current and former government officials. Several officials also said more than one other bulk collection program has yet to come to light. ‘The intelligence community collects bulk data in a number of different ways under multiple authorities,’ one intelligence official said. Orders for business records from the surveillance court generally prohibit recipients from talking about them.”
