“In a mission statement last year the US National Security Agency described how it would continue to expand its power and assert itself as the global leader in clandestine surveillance, according to a new report based on the Edward Snowden leaks. The five-page document brought to light Friday by the New York Times reveals the intelligence agency’s intention to ‘aggressively pursue legal authorities and a policy framework mapped more fully to the information age.’ The spy agency sought the ability to trace ‘anyone, anywhere, anytime,’ according to its 2012 mission statement.”
