And then there’s the economical ‘doch’, an invention that should have been imported years ago. I say, ‘The world won’t end today.’ You answer, ‘Oh yes it will.’ A German answers, ‘Doch’, a four-letter contradiction instead of a four-word one. ‘Doch’ has an elegant finality about it—having the last word without spelling it out. ‘ You’re not going out dressed like that!’. ‘Doch.’ Try to argue with that.

NSA phone record collection does little to prevent terrorist attacks, group says (Washington Post):
An analysis of 225 terrorism cases inside the United States since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks has concluded that the bulk collection of phone records by the National Security Agency “has had no discernible impact on preventing acts of terrorism.”
In the majority of cases, traditional law enforcement and investigative methods provided the tip or evidence to initiate the case, according to the study by the New America Foundation, a Washington-based nonprofit group.
The study, to be released Monday, corroborates the findings of a White House-appointed review group, which said last month that the NSA counterterrorism program “was not essential to preventing attacks” and that much of the evidence it did turn up “could readily have been obtained in a timely manner using conventional [court] orders.”

Die Zahl der von US-Geheimdienst NSA und dem britischen Geheimdienst GCHQ überwachten Ziele wird noch größer. Unter anderem könnten die Schlapphüte das Behörden- und Ministerientelefonnetz in Berlin, mindestens eine deutsche Botschaft und den EU-Wettbewerbskommissar Joaquín Almunia überwacht haben. Das berichten der Spiegel, der Guardian und die New York Times unter Berufung auf dem Dokumente aus dem Fundus des NSA-Whistleblowers Edward Snowden.
