Critics have portrayed the NSA's Terrorist Surveillance Program as "domestic spying," but that is not an accurate description of what we know at this classified program. As the Justice Department has explained, the President has authorized the NSA to intercept international communications into and out of the United States where there is a reasonable basis for believing that one of those persons is linked to al-Qaida or related terrorist organiza- tions. The program only applies to communications where one party is located outside of the United States.
