“General Keith Alexander told a Senate hearing that a New York Times article ‘jumped to the conclusion this was done on Americans, that’s not true.’ He told the Judiciary Committee that the NSA, which has been under fire following revelations about vast surveillance efforts which collect data on Americans, only uses social networks when it is investigating ‘someone who is part of a terrorist investigation.’ ‘The fact that people assume that we’re out there mapping the social networks of US persons is absolutely wrong. What we do go after is those that are the subject of a terrorist investigation or something like that.'”
