According to a new report from Edward Snowden, the FBI and NSA has been reading the emails of 202 Muslim Americans. But was it illegal? It's a little hazy.

New report shows that FBI/NSA are reading US citizen’s emails
(yeah, it’s another Edward Snowden leak story).
According to the report, 202 Muslim American citizens had
their emails snooped (though many more may have).
5 of these US citizens are kinda famous. One is a Rutgers
Univ. professor, one is a lawyer, and 2 are involved in politics.
Of course, the targets deny terrorist ties and, of course, the
gov’t dened they spied just for religious/political reasons.
So what’s the big deal? The report implies that these people
were spied on just for racial and religous reasons.
It’s true the FBI/NSA don’t have the best track record when it
comes to the privacy of American citizens.
Still, one of the targets ran for President in Iran. Two were
involved(but cleared) in different nat’l security investigations.
So it’s unclear if this was illegal racial profiling or legitimate
security intelligence gathering.
