Another disclosure as a result of the Edward Snowden leaks: the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court signed off on the National Security Agency's interception of information about every foreign government but Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, the Washington Post reports. The certfication also "permitted the agency to gather intelligence about entities such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the International Atomic Energy Agency, among others," the Post reports. The NSA did not necessarily target every country or organization it had legal permission to surveill, the Post adds.
The surveillance could cover reporters or attorney-client communications, The Post also notes.
