The Corner notes that USA Today has pulled back on some of its big-headline NSA claims. In its “Note to Readers” in this article, USA Today writes:
Based on its reporting after the May 11 article, USA TODAY has now concluded that while the NSA has built a massive domestic-calls-record database involving the domestic call records of telecommunications companies, the newspaper cannot confirm that BellSouth or Verizon contracted with the NSA to provide bulk calling records to that database.
Whoops.
